Seeing was moderate to good. The second half observer was a no show. After about 30 minutes of attempting to reach anyone I thought might be interested in the time with no luck, Russet and I choose to use the time for Engineering. Russet did some pointing tests and pointing models. After she was done I did some tests with the Shack Hartmann. I then closed up and changed the echelle slit for the first half user tomorrow. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:53 Echelle 52(185) 83 61 3.2/3.1 132 16 clear 1.08 00:29 Echelle -13(2) 185 77 0.9/1.2 154 18 nd1 0.8 01:06 NA2gdr 1899(50899) 220 75 1.1/0.9 156 16 R 1.48 04:15 SH -50() 90 45 1.0/1.2 175 11 - Good -------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 38 2 12 136 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 17:01 37 -1 8 128 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 18:01 38 -6 15 130 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 19:01 38 -6 16 131 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 20:01 39 -6 18 142 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 21:01 39 -6 17 149 (SSE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 22:01 37 -8 18 138 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 23:01 35 -2 18 141 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 00:01 34 6 15 144 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 01:01 34 8 19 144 (SE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 02:01 35 10 12 172 (S) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 03:01 36 16 12 170 (S) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 04:01 36 25 10 179 (S) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 05:01 35 27 10 156 (SSE) 0 mstly cldy cirrus 06:01 34 24 7 180 (S) 0 mstly cldy cirrus Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
