Small clouds came and went throughout the night, interfering with some tasks but never making work impossible. Everything went very smoothly. Tasks completed: primary collimation, secondary fine-collimation according to Shack-Hartmann, tertiary tilts for three instrument ports, confirmation of guider functionality, guider focus, guider instrument block, pointing model. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:29 SPIcam 50(1601) 14 58 13.9/-10.4 217 11 r 0.95 03:58 Echelle -17(521) 8 59 12.8/-10.4 206 11 ND2 0.96 04:08 SPIcam 0(1485) 6 60 12.4/-10.4 205 9 r 0.78 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 63 34 14 268 (W) 117189 ptly cldy none 17:01 68 37 13 256 (WSW) 115932 ptly cldy none 18:01 65 35 17 218 (SW) 117451 ptly cldy none 19:01 62 33 10 270 (W) 116588 ptly cldy none 20:01 59 34 10 241 (WSW) 120048 ptly cldy none 21:01 58 36 8 223 (SW) 120641 ptly cldy dust 22:01 57 35 9 237 (WSW) 122154 mstly clr none 23:01 57 34 7 208 (SSW) 121499 mstly clr none 00:01 57 34 5 255 (WSW) 121679 mstly clr none 01:01 56 34 12 216 (SW) 120570 ptly cldy none 02:01 55 35 7 189 (S) 119595 ptly cldy none 03:01 55 38 6 186 (S) 117928 ptly cldy none 04:01 55 37 8 191 (S) 118907 ptly cldy none 05:01 54 38 13 215 (SW) 120683 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
