Retrieve Cloud Camera Images

OBSERVERS NOTE! This procedure is changed as of August 2002

The cloud camera images are saved on hoggpt:/home/observer/irsc/data/<mjd> with filenames that look like CHHMMSS.fit. The HHMMSS time stamp is in UT. To copy the files to sdssmth, do the following:

from sdssmth:
sdssmth% cd /data/mt/<mjd>
sdssmth% scp -pr observer@hoggpt.apo.nmsu.edu:irsc/data/<mjd> ircam

<mjd> is replaced with tonight's directory name. The cloud camera images will appear in /data/mt/<mjd>/ircam in FITS format.

If the command fails, or no files appear in the ircam directory, you might not have proper permissions on hoggpt. Make sure your identity.pub file from sdssmth is properly installed in the hoggpt:~observer/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
