Opened the enclosure/telescope at 17:12 under cirrus skies. Insturment switch occured at 00:00 and we were doing our focus run around 00:20 still under cirrus skies which lasted the remainder of the night. Things ran smoothly otherwise except for the cloudcam running out of LN2 around 3:00AM (PR submitted). ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG/INST FAILURE MODE TIME S/E/G/D/O TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:27 SPIcam -150(337) 227 47 -0.5/0.9 161 0 r' 1.35 18:30 NA2gdr 2394(63394) 227 47 -0.5/0.9 161 0 R 1.77 19:40 SPIcam -50(321) 288 65 -0.9/-0.2 278 5 r' 1.07 19:46 NA2gdr 1571(62571) 288 64 -0.9/-0.3 275 6 R 1.23 00:15 DISslit -60(115) 68 67 -1.3/-1.6 3 4 none 1.24 00:23 NA2gdr -580(56419) 68 67 -1.3/-1.7 1 24 R 1.07 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 36 14 8 44 (NE) 61 Cirrus none 17:01 32 13 0 170 (S) 72 Cirrus none 18:01 30 13 6 45 (NE) 61 Cirrus none 19:01 31 12 4 255 (WSW) 84 Cirrus none 20:01 31 12 2 250 (WSW) 64 Cirrus none 21:01 30 15 12 359 (N) 38 Cirrus none 22:01 30 16 12 1 (N) 43 Cirrus none 23:01 30 18 12 7 (N) 47 Cirrus none 00:01 30 18 18 12 (NNE) 47 Cirrus none 01:01 29 18 4 33 (NNE) 47 Cirrus none 02:01 30 19 15 13 (NNE) 36 Cirrus none 03:01 30 20 20 16 (NNE) 40 Cirrus none 04:01 31 17 18 30 (NNE) 26 Cirrus none 05:01 30 18 19 25 (NNE) 19 Cirrus none 06:01 32 18 22 13 (NNE) 9 Cirrus none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
