#RECON Observing Logsheet

#Use the template below to document all video files collected during each
#night of observing.  All video files should be placed in a subdirectory
#of /Data labeled with the UT date of observation (e.g. /Data/YYYYMMDD).
#Use "Save As" to resave the logfile into this directory using the
#UT date of the observing night (YYYYMMDD_log).  The log file is an
#essential part of any observing session for keeping track of observations.

#Provide information for each FIELD listed below.  A SAMPLE logsheet is also
#available at
#http://www.tnorecon.net/reporting-observations
#Please don't hesitate to contact tnorecon-org@mailman.swri.boulder.edu
#if you have questions.

#SITE     - Name of your community (eg., Madras)
#LOCATION - This is a backup to the position video record you should have
#           collected.  You can provide the actual lat/lon as measured
#           by any GPS device, or, a description of your observing site
#           so that someone could later figure out where you were on a map.
#           This information does not replace taking the position video.
#FIELD CONDITIONS - This is general information about the weather and sky
#           conditions.  You can be as quantitative as you like (for
#           instance, providing actual temperature and humidity) but it is
#           sufficient to provide a qualitative description of the night:
#           clear, cloudy, patchy clouds, etc., and things like "cold and
#           calm but frosty" or "very windy".
#VIDEO FILES - Remember: files from a single night should be in the
#                  C:\Users\RECON\Data\YYYYMMDD\
#           directory (where YYYYMMDD is replaced by the UT date).
#           The video file names should all be of the form
#                YYYYMMDD_NN.avi
#           where NN is a two-digit, zero-padded number that will start
#           at 01.  You won't see the .avi part in the File Explorer but
#           that's what VirtualDub creates.
#           You are only required to list two items for each file:
#             the name of the object recorded or purpose of the file
#             and the sense-up value used.
#           Provide comments as needed to document the observations.  If
#           you encounter timing problems, noting external timing information
#           in the comments field would be a great idea.  Only provide as
#           many lines as you have files.

#You may find it more convienient to write down notes by hand on a piece of
#paper while observing and then later transcribe those notes to this log file
#format.

#As much or as little descriptive information about your experiences on this
#night that you care to share.  This can be descriptions on how well your
#team worked together (or not).  Lessons learned.  Problems to be resolved
#for next time.  Suggestions for improving any part of the RECON system
#or experience.  It is especially important to document anything that might
#help in understanding the data you collected for the scientific analysis to
#come.
