The only difficulty was at the beginning of the night, when the failure of the dewpoint/airtemp sensor caused a problem with the autocollimation routines. Resetting the routines cost slightly less than 5 minutes. The observer's only target during second half passed through the zenith around 05:30, so she let me use the time around transit to make some quick Shack-Hartmann measurements in preparation for tomorrow's engineering. I accounted this time to EN01. --------------- INSTRUMENT FOCUS LOG ---------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El #Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:45 GRIM(f/5) 25(1330) 106 69 15.5/16.9 160 13 J 1 micron per 0.1 cu. ft.
