ASK run update

(updated)

Things have improved. A period of sustained negative IMF has led to a nicely active substorm. A quiet arc was visible overhead as the clouds departed. Things have been ticking over nicely since then.

The ESR is now working after a strange problem with the ion line data recorder. Not sure why it was unable to write to the recorder or why it started working again but operations began at 21:22:39 UT. Only 2 hours 22 minutes lost, not so bad really as the conditions were not great then anyway. I hope that means that I won't be charged for those hours.

No sign of my dinner and so I can only assume that Mike's aim of focusing the old DASI camera has taken much longer than the estimated 30 minutes. :-(

Update: Aha, dinner is in the process of being cooked. Hurrah!
