Mounted GRIM for UC05 and at 18:35 they were ready to take data. Everything ran smooth tonight. Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Noel Camron Hastings There was no observer for second half. No one showed up, and I sent email (which was the only contact method listed in the proposal) but received no answer. I filled instruments and worked on other needy projects until I decided to go home. I did take images with GrIm in various modes using the GRIM6 ICC software and did not encounter any troubles. --------------- INSTRUMENT FOCUS LOG ---------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El #Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" --------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:35 SPIcam -50(850) 181 61 5.3/6.0 347 14 r' 0.81 17:50 NA2Guider 912(844) 181 61 5.3/6.0 347 14 1.05 19:20 GrIm(f/10) -75(775) 126 53 4.8/5.0 301 15 J 0.87 ------------- WEATHER CONDITIONS ------------ Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 41 9 6 338 (NNW) 114 Lt.
