I didn't know whom or what program to list the morning TOO program under (I put it under Wallerstein, but it might be under Stringfellow or York?). I also didn't know what DD it should be put under so I left it out. DIS Blue ion pump was running higher than usual this morning (10e-5 range). It wasn't high load, but several leds were lit above the black masking tape. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:33 SPIcam -75(876) 43 73 6.1/7.4 150 12 g' 1.5 20:34 NA2gdr -3412(29587) 43 73 6.2/7.4 144 14 R 1.1 00:07 DISslit 25(754) 108 73 5.4/5.0 142 14 clear 1.5 00:15 NA2gdr -5340(23659) 108 75 5.1/4.9 163 11 R 1.3 05:46 Echelle -14(-26) 30 46 5.2/5.5 178 9 ND1 1.4 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 50 29 11 192 (SSW) 827 Cloudy none 17:01 52 27 16 236 (SW) 784 Cloudy none 18:01 46 27 13 210 (SSW) 806 Cloudy none 19:01 45 26 9 200 (SSW) 961 Cloudy none 20:01 44 27 10 170 (S) 1061 Pt.
