This was just as well, as recovery of various computer systems from the daytime installation and testing of UPSs took until after midnight. After that, I amused myself with measuring the rotator velocity scale, some dome-closed slews, adjustments of the closed-loop correction settings for the secondary, and tests of the science instruments. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 22:03 51 50 18 77 (ENE) 294 cloudy lt rain 23:03 50 51 12 80 (E) 162 cloudy lt rain 00:03 50 50 14 75 (ENE) 689 cloudy lt rain 01:03 50 49 14 77 (ENE) 616 cloudy none 02:03 50 49 11 79 (ENE) 424 cloudy none 03:03 50 49 7 82 (E) 498 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
