Wind gusted over limits around 20:20 and we closed. We opened an hour later for about 1 hr until again the winds gusted. I Crashed the tcc at 01:37:30 while correcting pointing. By the time Russet and I got things going again wind had once again went over limit (02:00). Closed due to wind for most all of 2nd half. I gave up around 05:40 due to wind. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CU05 O T/S 01:37 02:00 Crashed TCC while fixing pointing. ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:37 DISslit -85(-357) -90 64 -1.2 -0.3 -1.1 -1.9 -1.3 -- 1.4 21:35 DISslit -157(-412) 3 52 -0.7 -1.2 -2.0 -1.8 -0.9 -- 1.5 01:00 DISslit 135(-8) -141 59 3.7 1.5 0.8 1.3 3.1 -- 1.9 01:19 NA2gdr -3000(26000) -123 37 3.2 1.8 1.0 1.4 2.8 R 1.7 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:02 31 -12 19 30 (NNE) 59 Lt.
