Calibration Processing Results for 970523 to 970630

CALMON was run on nights 970523n-970630n. The following plots give both the non-extinction corrected delta mags (catalog-instrumental) vs. day AND the extinction corrected delta mags vs. day:

The following table summarizes the nights.

"??" means that CALMON results are questionable due to inability to use all the cal fields scanned. We just do not have proper magnitudes for all cal fields.

"**" software problem resulting in k band to APPEAR non-photometric. Problem being worked.

night day# photometric(calmon) calmon_comments obslog_comments
970523n 84 yes ?? (average) only ONE cal scan used s023-s028 S813-D Cal field P182-E not used due to no standard star magnitude. should be photometric
970524n 85 yes ?? (linear) only TWO cal sets used P330-E. Would not trust this since only two sets went into linear fit. reports of cirrus during second set of P330_E scans.
970525n 86 yes (average) Four P330-E sets throughout night. Looks good. clear night. Should be photometric.
970526n 87 yes ?? (average) Two P330-E sets only. No magnitudes for P266-C field. clear night for P330-E scans.
970527n 88 yes (average) Three P330-E sets. clear with some thin cirrus.
970528n 89   Could not run due to finding an unknown cal field strip-id # 99999. (Booth says it should have been 90067 for M67 field - so why 99999 in lgo file?)  
970529n 90 no ** Photometric in J and H bands. Software problem causing k band to APPEAR non-photometric resulting in CALMON declaring night non-photometric.** suggests night is partially non-photometric
970530n 91   can not find bfpts file for cal scan s032.. 
970531n 92 yes (average) Three cal sets of S867-V. Looks good. clear
970532n 93 no ** Photometric in J and H bands. Software problem causing k band to APPEAR non-photometric resulting in CALMON declaring night non-photometric.** clear night.
970602n 94 yes (average) Five cal sets used. S867-V and S813-D. Looks good. clear night.
970603n 95 no Night might have been partially photometric some light scattered cirrus overhead.
970604n 96 no Night might have been partially photometric lots of clouds, thick at times
970605n 97 no ** Photometric in J and H bands. Software problem causing k band to APPEAR non-photometric resulting in CALMON declaring night non-photometric.** suggests clouds during one cal set.
970606n 98 no first set of cal scans scattered due to clouds? clouds beginning of night.
970607n 99   Could not run calmon due to finding an unknown cal field strip-id # 90000. No indication in log as to what these scans are. 
970608n 100 yes (average) Looks good.Four good cal sets. clear.
970609n 101 yes (average) Five good cal sets. Looks good. clear.
970610n 102 no ** Photometric in J a nd H bands. Software problem causing k band to APPEAR non-photometric resulting in CALMON declaring night non-photometri c.** clear
970611n 103   can not find bfpts file for cal scan 010  
970612n 104 no only one cal sequence; not enough to calibrate  
970613n 105 no non-photometric clouds at beginning of night
970614n 106   not run as yet  
970615n 107 yes photometric clear
970616n 108 yes photometric clear most of the night
970617n 109 no ** Photometric in J a nd H bands. Software problem causing k band to APPEAR non-photometric resulting in CALMON declaring night non-photometri c.** clear
970618n 110 no non-photometric bad seeing reported in obslog
970619n 111 no non-photometric clouds
970620n 112 no non-photometric clouds
970621n 113 no ** Night could be partially photometric. Software problem causing k band to APPEAR non-photometric resulting in CALMON declaring night non-photometric.** clear
970622n114 no ** Photometric in J and H bands. Software problem causing k band to APPEAR non-photometric resulting in CALMON declaring night non-photometric.** clear, twinkling
970630n122 no non-photometric. See some k band problems but j band also outside threshold. Sources in images are elongated in j and k. clear
