Data Set 16

[Tom Droege <tdroege@veriomail.com>]

The 28th produced a better data run.  5 CDs full of data with a clear 
sky.  The 29th produced 6 CDs, but there was some thin cloud.  The 28th and 
29th were both made with the VVH clock set to 4.1 volts and should have a 
little more dynamic range.  We will have a lot of data.

I am working on getting out a sampler disk.  I will then send more data to 
anyone that processes the first disk.  It will take at least a week as I am 
trying to keep the production line going.

I think the design has settled out.  The Declination drive will never 
please some, but it should be good enough for a survey where one does not 
really care where one is pointing.  I should be able to get it down to 1/2 
degree.

I have put the computer that just returned from NOFS on MICHAEL and have 
started serious testing.  I will  have to go the basement and assemble a 
few cameras and lenses so I have spares before I can test Michael with 
stars.  It will be soon.
