All systems working well, but thick, high cirrus. We had an IRSC failure around 2am due to hard drives filling up. Although the hard drives were cleaned out a little to allow more images the software still seemed to be unhappy. We did not run IRSC after 3am. Clouds kept most of the data acquisition to a minimum. Moonlight in the cirrus made for a bright sky. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:36 SPIcam 150(1157) 128 45 11.8/13.6 213 12 I 1.09 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 66 21 12 267 (W) 1238 cirrus none 17:01 67 20 13 242 (WSW) 1168 cirrus none 18:01 60 14 8 242 (WSW) 1301 cirrus none 19:01 57 11 12 215 (SW) 1438 cirrus none 20:01 51 7 8 218 (SW) 1585 cirrus none 21:01 53 8 11 234 (SW) 1594 cirrus none 22:01 53 9 9 246 (WSW) 1620 cirrus none 23:01 54 9 8 265 (W) 1641 cirrus none 00:01 52 7 9 241 (WSW) 1736 cirrus none 01:01 52 8 7 195 (SSW) 1912 cirrus none 02:01 51 6 9 213 (SSW) 1598 cirrus none 03:01 55 11 20 275 (W) 1252 cirrus none 04:01 53 8 11 266 (W) 1402 cirrus none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
