It was quickly fixed and the second half user claims he can still make use of the data taken with the improper setup. No downtime counted for this one. Skies were clear with variable but moderate seeing all night. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:04 dis-slit 100(1159) 192 77 4.6/6.7 222 13 - 1.20 20:09 NA2gdr -2500(44500)196 77 4.4/6.4 191 12 R 0.9 01:07 dis-slit 50(969) 183 71 3.5/3.3 181 14 - 0.98 01:08 NA2gdr -3279(43720)184 71 3.5/3.3 181 14 clear 1.0 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 47 31 13 224 (SW) 577 clear none 17:01 48 28 11 193 (SSW) 550 clear none 18:01 48 29 11 182 (S) 585 clear none 19:01 43 24 8 217 (SW) 688 clear none 20:01 40 22 14 211 (SSW) 563 clear none 21:01 40 25 15 182 (S) 618 clear none 22:01 39 27 15 188 (S) 689 clear none 23:01 39 23 16 179 (S) 658 clear none 00:01 39 22 14 181 (S) 663 clear none 01:01 38 22 14 180 (S) 661 clear none 02:01 38 24 10 182 (S) 616 clear none 03:01 37 25 12 175 (S) 613 clear none 04:01 38 22 12 180 (S) 641 clear none 05:01 39 13 8 218 (SW) 625 clear none 06:01 39 11 13 211 (SSW) 489 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
