Seeing much better than last night. No problems. 2nd half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan Second half remained clear with good seeing (though it was hard to tell since we spent a lot of time at high airmass). Everything worked well. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ----------------------------------------------------------------- 18:25 DISslit -350(-250) 317 83 6.3 8.9 7.6 7.8 6.6 - 1.1 19:19 DISslit -225(-129) 123 68 7.4 7.9 7.0 7.7 7.2 - 0.9 00:30 SPIcam -90(157) 288 26 6.8 6.76 6.08 6.24 6.5 r 0.85 04:15 SPIcam -85(101) 199 76 7.1 6.22 5.81 6.18 6.3 r 0.82 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:01 48 15 7 340 (NNW) 195 clear none 17:01 48 13 1 264 (W) 184 clear none 18:01 45 15 3 216 (SW) 486 clear none 19:01 46 13 5 43 (NE) 405 clear none 20:01 46 13 8 16 (NNE) 262 clear none 21:01 48 11 8 0 (N) 250 clear none 22:01 45 10 1 221 (SW) 423 clear none 23:01 46 12 1 244 (WSW) 354 clear none 00:01 45 11 2 250 (WSW) 421 clear none 01:01 45 11 3 243 (WSW) 632 clear none 02:01 45 11 6 223 (SW) 402 clear none 03:01 44 12 5 181 (S) 337 clear none 04:01 45 12 9 206 (SSW) 310 clear none 05:01 44 11 10 220 (SW) 459 clear none 06:01 43 11 8 254 (WSW) 499 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
