I think it was internal between the observers or payback time. We sprung forward this morning and the PU02 time is correct at 4.8 hrs. We opened up around 22:15. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:31 SPIcam -150(762) 22 56 5.0/6.0 17 273 i' 1.0 22:39 NA2gdr -2061(30938) 19 56 4.8/5.8 16 272 R 1.0 23:31 SPIcam -75(812) 24 55 4.6/5.0 17 272 i' 1.3 00:09 DISslit -125(522) 56 70 4.6/4.8 18 282 none 1.5 00:17 NA2gdr -6302(22697) 52 71 4.4/4.7 17 287 clear 1.3 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 51 23 23 258 (WSW) 1244 Pt.
