22" Observatory Logs - Phil Mattingly

April 08, 2008:  Arrived with Tom at 1700 hours.  Much of the tarmac snow is gone. We were able to
 park almost next to the observatory.  What started out in the valley was mostly clear sky,  upon arriving,
 much of the sky was intermittent clouds, with one humongous black cloud covering about a third of our
 overhead area.  We kidded about there being a possible snow fall this night. Nothing ventured, nothing
 gained is our motto ... by1900 hours the sky was black and pristine.  Tom opened his observatory.  Upon
 arriving the temperature was 45 degrees, and 26 degrees when we left at 0130 Thursday morning. 
 Worked on the 8 inch camera alignment.  Will eventually need to modify the tangent assembly.  Took a
 number of  SN2008AX images.  Worked this night in the control room which was snug and warm.  Tom
 closed up his observatory and joined me in the control room for the night.
