Some of the time was donated to the lens monitoring program and most was given to another UW program in straightforward trade. After the lens program, there was some cirrus appearing on the cloud camera image. Didnt seem to affect photon collection at all. First half went well. 2nd Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky The observers Remark session quite responding around 2:27, a restart of their Remark fixed the problem. All quite otherwise. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:58 SPIcam 0(1146) 147 64 8.8/10.1 201 15 g' 0.87 18:29 SPIcam -10(1128) 151 58 8.6/9.5 183 11 r' 0.74 19:49 Echelle 73(23) 170 78 8.1/8.2 191 14 nd1 0.86 -------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 53 24 8 225 (SW) 76 clear none 17:01 49 18 8 234 (SW) 70 clear none 18:01 48 11 11 224 (SW) 45 clear none 19:01 47 14 12 202 (SSW) 71 clear none 20:01 47 14 15 200 (SSW) 51 prtly cldy cirrus 21:01 47 9 17 213 (SSW) 34 prtly cldy cirrus 22:01 46 14 16 204 (SSW) 43 clear none 23:01 47 13 15 238 (WSW) 96 clear none 00:01 46 20 14 232 (SW) 104 prtly cldy cirrus 01:01 47 23 17 217 (SW) 180 prtly cldy cirrus 02:01 47 26 20 223 (SW) 302 prtly cldy cirrus 03:01 46 26 22 233 (SW) 233 clear none 04:01 47 26 22 227 (SW) 222 clear none 05:01 47 22 19 244 (WSW) 160 clear none 06:01 47 23 25 242 (WSW) 101 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
