We pulled the enclosure shortly thereafter. The film crew from Discover magazine took some photos of the telescope but we had to close again around 21:00 due to threatening clouds. In addition to the clouds, high humidity set in around 02:30 and we shut off the fans and closed the cartridge bay. We gave up at 04:30. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Stripe Flavor Lambda Last Begin End Frame Comments ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2517 100 O ignore -2.29 1.14 32 ignore 2518 100 O ignore 53.06 57.90 46 ignore ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot --------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot --------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 10793, plate -9999 ------- 20:32 10793 0.0 bias {{}} 00:36 10794 0.0 bias {{}} 00:47 10795 0.0 bias {{}} ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Cart Plate getclock Az Alt Rot Scale ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Ship to FNAL: None Stays at APO: None ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm " -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:30 Doors open, fans on 20:00 Enclosure off 21:00 Enclosure on, doors closed 02:30 Fans off ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky Precip. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:01 57 46 10 79 (ENE) 207 - pcl none 17:01 56 46 16 53 (NE) 220 - pcl none 18:01 57 42 14 63 (ENE) 151 - pcl none 19:01 57 38 9 109 (ESE) 149 - pcl none 20:01 56 40 12 87 (E) 171 - mcl none 21:01 56 41 10 80 (E) 208 - mcl none 22:01 56 42 11 117 (ESE) 230 - mcl none 23:01 54 41 6 44 (NE) 257 - mcl none 00:01 54 45 6 148 (SSE) 277 - pcl none 01:01 53 46 4 182 (S) 254 - pcl none 02:01 52 46 7 169 (SSE) 243 - mcl none 03:01 50 49 9 120 (ESE) 545 - pcl none 04:01 52 47 15 138 (SE) 624 - pcl none 05:01 51 47 11 159 (SSE) 546 - pcl none [pmt]cl = partly, mostly, totally cloudy ---=== LN2 SCHEDULE ===--- Spectrographs filled at 00:45.
