We managed to get focused and obtained a few science targets through cloudy skies. Second half started with better skies, but the computers in Chicago seemed to be having some sort of trouble with extremely slow networks or something, and clouds also returned. The observer for UC04 tried to restart his computers in Chicago and I seemed to have lost him for a significant amount of time. We did eventually get some science done though. ---------------- PROBLEM LOG ---------------- Time Problem/Fix PR# ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:13 FTS -150(1049) -96 61 17.7/18.3 79 14 block 1.01" 22:50 FTS -050(1180) -45 38 16.7/16.7 75 20 6563 0.83" 01:14 Echelle 21(309) 70 70 16.0/16.0 76 20 ND2 1.21" --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 68 44 5 278 (W) 673 cloudy none 17:01 70 44 4 57 (NE) 734 cloudy rain 18:01 67 44 6 89 (E) 902 cloudy none 19:01 62 45 17 79 (ENE) 944 cloudy none 20:01 61 44 12 78 (ENE) 967 cloudy none 21:01 62 41 15 76 (ENE) 847 cloudy none 22:01 61 40 18 72 (ENE) 751 cloudy none 23:01 61 40 19 72 (ENE) 904 cloudy none 00:01 62 40 15 86 (E) 1002 ptly cldy none 01:01 60 40 16 88 (E) 1033 ptly cldy none 02:01 61 41 19 77 (ENE) 1182 ptly cldy none 03:01 59 42 13 85 (E) 1339 ptly cldy none 04:01 58 42 13 80 (E) 1443 ptly cldy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
