Seeing was around 1 arc sec for the majority of the night. The fans (I think it is the arcade fan) was again making strange noises (like motor is struggling or brown out). I am not sure if it is a wind related thing or not as it was heard when the outside windspeed was relatively calm. No PR was reported since Russet already reported this last week. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:45 DISslit 80(1209) 130 70 5.9/8.2 332 1 none 1.21 18:46 NA2gdr -2794(44205) 130 71 5.9/8.1 3 5 R 1.15 00:46 SPIcam 30(1279) -117 39 4.6/4.2 357 10 r' 1.19 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 46 22 13 311 (NW) - Pt.
