The first half observer started taking lamps around 17:32 after we had a problem with the mirror covers switch not working (we operated the covers on manual tonight). We focused at 18:15 under mediocre seeing and started doing science just after that. Clouds closed us down for the rest of the first half at 19:15 2nd Half Observing Specialist: Camron Hastings Clouds remained all night. ------------- FAILURE LOG ------------- PROG/INST FAILURE MODE TIME S/E/G/D/O TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------- **** no failures during observing time **** ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:07 DISslit -50(56) 249 81 -3.4/-2.8 263 10 none 2.09 18:17 NA2gdr 1953(58953) 252 79 -3.6/-3.1 267 11 R 1.43 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 29 7 6 267 (W) 261 Mst.
