(Plate 6608 and 6613). The Curr HA column values were still red when we mounted the cartridge - which was well within the listed Obs range time. SOLUTION: We used the old formula of RA + HA = LST to determine if the plate could be safely mounted and that we could get some signal. Unfortunately, the clouds had a different say about our collecting of photons this evening....
