We were fortunate enough to get a few hours of mostly clear skies. Everything went smoothly aside from occasional human error on the part of just about everybody. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:06 GFP 200(1286) 53 66 2.9/3.8 266 9 5682 1.0 18:22 NA2gdr 1080(34080) 45 69 3.2/3.7 269 13 Clear 0.85 21:48 NA2gdr -25(1116) -72 54 4.3/3.9 267 16 Clear 1.0 01:05 Echelle 15(163) 133 63 3.2/3.6 257 13 ND3 0.79 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 40 16 20 250 (WSW) - Mst.
