PICS COMMENT: Thu Jan 24 19:29:27 GMT 2002
The camera is working well, may need to tweak the 
camera position to get the best focus, but its difficult to determine 
until we get clear sky.  I'll take some data anyway.

GONG COMMENT: Thu Jan 24 20:02:50 GMT 2002
I'm sure we're getting freezing temperatures overnight so I'm going to leave
the turret covered to avoid damaging the seals due to possible ice formation.
There is still moisture around, the humidity is still high and it rained
yesterday so we may get rain for the next few days.

PICS COMMENT: Thu Jan 24 22:18:42 GMT 2002
There seems to be several specks of dust on the CCD I think, they can be seen
easily on the animations, the biggest pieces are in the East and Southwest in
the disk images.  These can be blown away with the converted airbrush after
we're sure we have a good focus, more might be added during the focus
procedure if the camera is moved in its mount.
WEATHER COMMENT: Thu Jan 24 22:35:36 GMT 2002
In a thin area of the higher clouds, but now thick orographic clouds are
moving in.

The thick orographic clouds have brought fog too, closing down.
