First half went without problems. Second half the observer reported a Software feature in TUI that led us down a misguided path chasing a nonexistant problem. 15 minutes was lost thinking that the shutter on DIS was failing when indeed it was not. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFVO) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- UC01 D I/S 04:15 04:30 TUI misreports shutter status ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:36 SPIcam 30(1315) 166 77 8.3/8.5 238 14 I 0.72 20:40 NA2gdr 518(49518) 31 52 8.1/8.4 231 14 R 1.1 22:45 SPIcam 30(1349) 55 50 8.1/7.7 218 13 r 1.3 22:55 NA2gdr -1005(47994)55 51 8.1/7.7 245 15 clear 1.46 01:20 dis-slit 30(1125) 210 76 8.3/7.7 250 18 - 1.3 01:31 NA2gdr -4488(42511)82 67 7.7/7.6 267 19 R 0.9 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 53 18 16 255 (WSW) 432 clear none 17:01 52 15 11 259 (W) 614 clear none 18:01 51 13 13 256 (WSW) 513 clear none 19:01 49 17 22 239 (WSW) 442 clear none 20:01 46 12 14 244 (WSW) 489 clear none 21:01 47 12 13 233 (SW) 541 clear none 22:01 46 14 19 208 (SSW) 580 clear none 23:01 47 16 17 226 (SW) 640 clear none 00:01 46 16 19 240 (WSW) 620 clear none 01:01 46 15 22 243 (WSW) 567 clear none 02:01 47 15 14 268 (W) 816 clear none 03:01 46 11 16 274 (W) 801 clear none 04:01 46 9 20 292 (WNW) 725 clear none 05:01 45 8 20 299 (WNW) 639 clear none 06:01 44 9 17 312 (NW) 796 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
