I had a problem with the lampswitch freezing up during checkout, but it apparently revived itself after some internal timeout. The tower dust sensor stopped working in the middle of the night, but the dome sensor was fine, so I didn't tinker with it. Everything else worked perfectly during the night. The internet outage scheduled for 6 am didn't happen, or not on time. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:45 NIC 125 H 0.71 00:19 DISslit 0(655) 192 46 2.5/2.4 359 9 - 1.4 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 37 -13 9 359 (N) 1809 clear none 17:01 35 -12 11 334 (NNW) 1787 clear none 18:01 34 -11 10 0 (N) 1249 clear none 19:01 35 -7 8 3 (N) 1418 clear none 20:01 37 -4 15 48 (NE) 1260 clear none 21:01 37 -4 12 345 (NNW) 1079 clear none 22:01 37 -7 17 352 (N) 1079 clear none 23:01 38 -7 10 21 (NNE) 1079 clear none 00:01 38 -9 10 359 (N) 1079 clear none 01:01 37 -9 12 354 (N) 1079 clear none 02:01 35 -10 10 5 (N) 1079 clear none 03:01 35 -11 14 350 (N) 1079 clear none 04:01 38 -7 15 327 (NNW) 1079 clear none 05:01 37 -9 17 318 (NW) 1079 clear none 06:01 37 -6 18 308 (NW) 1079 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
