Nancy did a time swap with Don York for tonights first half for DD time on 04/01/05 that had been promised to her. I recorded her time ad UC06 (Don's program, but Russet may want to edit this to a DD time, since the DD time swap is for the next qtr.). ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFNVO) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:55 SPIcam -173(731) 68 64 -4.1/-0.7 248 6 V 1.1 00:23 DISslit -100(617) -88 45 -4.2/-3.2 225 7 none 0.9 00:25 NA2gdr -90(30909) -88 45 -4.2/-3.3 224 7 R 0.7 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 27 27 1 264 (W) -- Cloudy fog 17:01 26 26 1 213 (SSW) -- Cloudy none 18:01 26 26 7 185 (S) -- Cloudy none 19:01 24 22 0 168 (SSE) -- Cloudy none 20:01 24 20 4 179 (S) -- Cirrus none 21:01 24 22 5 183 (S) -- Lt.
