No problems encountered, all ran smoothly. At 19:47 Tycho spontaneously rebooted itself. I called Craig to notify him, but it rebooted smoothly and everything ran fine after that with excellent seeing. The internet connection seemed to be going up and down randomly after 21:00 MST. The .edu sites continued to work without interruption. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:30 SPIcam 50(828) 165 66 7.9/8.9 300 10 I 0.78 19:50 NA2 Gdr 555(60966) 177 56 7.9/8.6 279 10 R 0.69 01:44 SPIcam 150(847) 204 58 7.8/7.0 248 5 r' 0.93 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 57 27 7 304 (NW) 456 clear none 17:01 50 23 4 344 (NNW) 577 clear none 18:01 47 21 0 298 (WNW) 520 clear none 19:01 47 16 11 314 (NW) 396 clear none 20:01 47 16 6 273 (W) 421 clear none 21:01 45 17 5 267 (W) 486 clear none 22:01 45 17 5 263 (W) 458 clear none 23:01 44 18 5 178 (S) 591 clear none 00:01 45 20 3 181 (S) 661 clear none 01:01 46 21 0 190 (S) 774 clear none 02:01 45 23 5 252 (WSW) 740 clear none 03:01 46 22 2 218 (SW) 783 clear none 04:01 45 21 1 99 (E) 783 clear none 05:01 43 20 1 2 (N) 708 clear none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
