Dembicky, Started cooling fans around 16:45, opened the enclosure after the observer finished DIS cals at 18:35. The CU people had a little problem with their connection being a tad slow when they came online. Things improved a bit as the night went on (and I had them only running remark on their Mac, not sure if that was the fault or just a slow connection). No time was lost due to this. Everything ran smoothly on our end. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:48 SPIcam 60(658) 91 46 2.9/3.9 7 15 z' 0.89 20:23 DISslit 140(549) 154 57 3.8/3.2 3 12 none 1.14 20:39 NA2gdr 477(57477) 162 58 4.1/3.2 3 13 R 1.23 00:20 DISslit 100(539) 77 43 3.0/2.5 8 21 none 1.24 00:24 NA2gdr -70(56929) 77 44 2.9/2.5 347 14 R 1.71 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 39 -4 12 14 (NNE) 66 Clear none 17:01 39 -5 17 8 (N) 53 Clear none 18:01 37 -8 17 16 (NNE) 26 Clear none 19:01 37 -12 16 12 (NNE) 24 Clear none 20:01 38 -13 18 19 (NNE) 38 Clear none 21:01 39 -10 18 20 (NNE) 49 Clear none 22:01 39 -8 15 4 (N) 89 Clear none 23:01 38 -5 7 12 (NNE) 131 Clear none 00:01 37 -6 16 13 (NNE) 131 Clear none 01:01 36 -4 16 0 (N) 152 Clear none 02:01 37 -5 23 350 (N) 143 Clear none 03:01 36 -7 3 80 (E) 135 Clear none 04:01 38 -10 13 31 (NNE) 162 Clear none 05:01 37 -12 22 5 (N) 113 Clear none 06:01 39 -17 23 26 (NNE) 55 Clear none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
