There is a automated log being genarted by scraping the fits headers as files appear on disk:
https://www.saao.ac.za/~sbp/74in_SHW_ObsLogs/
To use method (1):
** Open a shell on your local PC (Putty if you're using Windows or a bash/tcsh/sh if on Mac or Linux)
** Copy the data using the following command, depending on the telescope:
rsync -avzP shoc74in@shoc74in.suth.saao.ac.za:/data/74in/sh?/<YYYY>/<MMDD>/*.fits /LocalFilePath
rsync -avzP shoc40in@shoc40in.suth.saao.ac.za:/data/40in/sh?/<YYYY>/<MMDD>/*.fits /LocalFilePath
---- where sh? is a wildcard that will point to the correct instrument mounted on the
telescope for that night and "/LocalFilePath" is the location on your local machine
---- the password is that for the shoc74in or shoc40in accounts
* NOTE: if the rsync command fails, try it WITHOUT the wildcard (*). Some rsync programs apparently do not support this function.
* ANOTHER NOTE: if the rsync command fails, try it with the data path in quotations, e.g.:
rsync -avzP shoc40in@shoc40in.suth.saao.ac.za:"/data/40in/shd/2016/0503/*.fits" /LocalFilePath
