Logged on as A2154, not A2143! Oops! So corfile and calfile will be
labelled as a2154. Did spider scan on B0300+162.
cloud1a: 613200088,91,94,97
cloud1c: 100,103,106,109 - very strong OH already
cloud1n: 112,115,118,121
onvaxis: 124,127,130,133
mbm18hi: 136,139,142,145
cloud2a: 148,151,154,157
cloud2b: 160,163,166 Good run overall
FILENAME: corfile.12may06.a2154.1

May 13, 2006 | day1=133

Got an early start. Did spider scan on B0138+136, then a cross scan on
B0300+162 since I had some extra time still. Doing a cross scan makes
the telescope do a pointing correction - probably unnecessary.
cloud1b: 613324525,24528,24531,24534 (big scan #'s, eh?)
cloud1d: 24537,24540,24543,24546

cloud2d: 24600,24603 Another good run
FILENAME: corfile.13may06.a2143.1

May 14, 2006 | day2=134

At start of run, zenith angle won't go past 10 degrees! Had to restart
CIMA after TO reset something. Did spider scan on B0300+162
cloud1a: 613400302,305,308,311
cloud1c: 314,317,320,323
cloud1n: 326,329,332,335

cloud2d: 362,365
cloud2e: 368,371,374,377
FILENAME: corfile.14may06.a2143.1

Since cloud1c has such a strong signal already, we will replace it with
cloud1f in the future.
