Email problem? I believe that all went smoothly though, and UW was happy with data collected. 2nd Half Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings Right as we started SPIcam failed again. I reset the controller on the camera and this fixed the problem. All else ran smoothly. ****** OBSERVER COMMENTS ****** --------------- INSTRUMENT FOCUS LOG ----------------- Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El #Temp Dir MPH filt FWHM" --------------------------------------------------------------------- No first half focus data 01:35 SPIcam +020(723) 212 45 12.3/12.8 079 14 g' 1.75" #First temp is air, second temp is telescope structure. ------------- WEATHER CONDITIONS ------------ Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Precip? ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 74 28 11 265 (W) 731 clear none 17:01 69 24 12 273 (W) 628 clear none 18:01 74 22 12 260 (W) 604 clear none 19:01 66 20 5 278 (W) 566 clear none 20:01 63 17 0 286 (WNW) 583 clear none 21:01 61 16 1 325 (NW) 611 clear none 22:01 59 25 12 64 (ENE) 580 clear none 23:01 57 29 15 77 (ENE) 515 clear none 00:01 56 27 17 77 (ENE) 521 clear none 01:01 56 27 16 75 (ENE) 557 clear none 02:01 54 28 12 77 (ENE) 556 clear none 03:01 54 29 8 86 (E) 588 clear none 04:01 55 30 11 123 (ESE) 572 clear none 05:01 58 24 0 353 (N) 638 clear none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
