Clouds appeared around 21:00 but there was no threat of rain so we remained open and Don exposed thru them. Eventually we went to the Red Rectange object, due to the clouds. The NA2 guider did quit during the night and needed to be power cycled to revive it. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFVO) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- UC01 NA2gdr I/H 23:30 00:00 NA2gdr needed to be power cycled, no response from pinging camera. ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:08 GFP -175(998) 0 83 5.0/6.4 244 14 4050 1.2 18:21 NA2gdr -1068(31931) -22 82 5.1/5.9 263 17 R 0.95 18:43 GFP 50(1189) -50 80 4.7/5.1 264 15 6400 0.82 18:53 NA2gdr 2070(35070) -59 78 4.9/5.1 260 14 R 0.87 00:26 GFP 0(1160) -30 42 3.2/3.2 287 23 5855 1.9 00:27 NA2gdr 3850(36850) -30 42 3.3/3.3 278 14 R 1.75 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 46 11 13 248 (WSW) Pt.
