One observer wanted to practice working with the instrument, so I set her up for cals; otherwise, I told observers to go home. I stuck around long enough for a second set of instrument fills and then scarpered before I could get stuck on site. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 40 35 12 266 (W) 488 cloudy none 17:01 37 33 13 244 (WSW) 332 cloudy none 18:01 31 31 6 258 (WSW) 1768 cloudy snow 19:01 31 31 16 211 (SSW) 442 cloudy snow 20:01 31 30 13 75 (ENE) 176 cloudy snow 21:01 26 24 15 72 (ENE) 22 cloudy none 22:01 25 22 14 83 (E) 401 cloudy none 23:01 24 22 18 76 (ENE) 59 cloudy snow 00:01 23 22 11 82 (E) 50 cloudy snow Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
