I opened the telescope around 19:45, when the observer had finished their cals. I tweaked the focus as we observed, but it was fairly steady. 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan Second half had thin high clouds most of the time, with moderate to very good seeing. Everything worked perfectly. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:13 DISslit 0(1087) 39 75 5.5/7.4 207 16 none 1.0 20:16 NA2gdr -1757(21242) 38 74 5.5/7.2 203 17 R 0.9 04:19 NICFPS 100(1561) 196 46 5.3/4.8 266 13 FeII 1.03 04:27 NA2gdr 1738(38738) 200 45 5.0/4.7 272 13 R 1.07 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 46 24 7 208 (SSW) 384 Cirrus none 17:01 49 24 10 213 (SSW) 375 Lt.
