Lost a few hours for clouds. Collected about 7300 dust counts. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== --Test Actors, 22:30:38 - ok -- APOGEE Short Dark - 22:30:56 - ok -- APOGEE FPI - ok 23:03Z - APOGEE evening cals started , 23:34:54 - end and ok 23:36Z - start ventilation 23:52Z - on the telescope all checked and ok NIGHT ======= 2:09Z- opened once the clouds cleared 4:15Z- seeing from Cyclope monitor approximately ~1.6" 12.3-12.7 magnitude 04:39Z- started at center. Secondary focus at 365 um. r' filter Continued to take focus sweeps at offsets. 2. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 0.00000, -1.50000 3. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 1.29904, -0.75000 4. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 1.29904, 0.75000 5. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 0.00000, 1.50000 6. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed -1.29904, 0.75000 7. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed -1.29904, -0.75000 8. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 0.0, 0.0 9. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 0.00000, -1.12500 10. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 0.97428, -0.56250 11. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 0.97428, 0.56250 12. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed 0.00000, 1.12500 13. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed -0.97428, 0.56250 Repeated focus sweep due to clouds. Noted radar on edge of county. 14. tcc offset arc/pabs /computed -0.97428, -0.56250 Clouds are too thick to find this next point. Doubled and tripled exposure time with no luck. 05:53:08 encl25m : closed 08:56:09 encl25m : open; New focus 425um, but seeing not good enough for imaging. The best pixel counts were 18 over the last half hour as opposed to about 15 earlier in the night. 3.5m is seeing about 1.6" 10:32Z In the last half hour, the seeing has been about 2", 27 pixels wind speed has increased to about 20 mph, higher wind gusts of 30mph and rising With less than 2 hours, we will plan to continue the focal scan tomorrow.
