Everything went smoothly. As soon as I finished focus of the echelle I did a pointing correction. This seemed to help a great deal even though the corrections were not particularly large. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFVO) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:23 dis-slit 0(849) 176 67 9.2/11.2 281 9 - 0.74 19:28 NA2gdr 3274(44274) 179 67 9.1/11.2 277 6 R 0.67 01:05 Echelle 81(27) 190 67 8.0/7.8 246 4 nd2 1.15 04:11 Echelle 10(-48) 71 54 6.3/7.0 217 6 nd2 1.33 -------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 52 24 2 241 (WSW) 830 clear none 17:01 51 23 5 191 (S) 845 clear none 18:01 50 23 4 197 (SSW) 847 clear none 19:01 48 21 5 272 (W) 817 clear none 20:01 47 22 2 269 (W) 982 clear none 21:01 49 21 8 224 (SW) 743 clear none 22:01 48 28 6 205 (SSW) 719 clear none 23:01 47 29 7 198 (SSW) 756 prtly cldy none 00:01 47 28 10 226 (SW) 797 prtly cldy none 01:01 47 29 5 206 (SSW) 868 prtly cldy none 02:01 46 29 8 236 (SW) 821 prtly cldy none 03:01 46 29 7 218 (SW) 776 prtly cldy none 04:01 45 30 7 190 (S) 847 clear none 05:01 45 31 8 264 (W) 971 clear none 06:01 46 32 9 287 (WNW) 1028 clear none 07:01 46 31 10 281 (W) 1123 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
