Everything ran smoothly all night until twilight when the observer reported Spicam not responding. After about a minute it came back to life and things seemed to run normally (it froze and then ran really slow before going back to normal speed.). ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:01 SPIcam -25(1728) 78 62 16.8/19.0 212 5 r' 0.79 21:08 NA2gdr 2688(51688) 76 64 16.4/18.9 235 9 R 1.08 00:46 SPIcam -50(1579) 157 79 17.4/16.6 238 6 r' 0.90 00:47 NA2gdr 452(49452) 158 79 17.4/16.6 238 8 R 1.0 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:01 71 25 11 262 (W) 909 Clear none 19:01 69 24 7 257 (WSW) 805 Clear none 20:01 64 17 3 249 (WSW) 823 Clear none 21:01 62 16 9 216 (SW) 881 Clear none 22:01 63 17 10 228 (SW) 945 Clear none 23:01 63 17 11 223 (SW) 810 Clear none 00:01 62 16 10 246 (WSW) 820 Clear none 01:01 63 16 7 224 (SW) 591 Clear none 02:01 62 17 6 257 (WSW) 578 Clear none 03:01 60 13 8 243 (WSW) 755 Clear none 04:01 58 13 6 262 (W) 665 Clear none 05:01 61 15 8 231 (SW) 662 Clear none 06:01 58 10 8 229 (SW) 777 Clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
