Moderate to poor seeing. No problems. Focus behavior was a little weird, which sometimes happens in the spring. Dust went over the limit during morning twilight, but I pushed it a little since counts in the dome stayed low. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:23 DISslit -25(954) 53 70 9.4/11.6 139 1 - 1.12 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 55 13 8 207 (SSW) 1888 ptly cldy none 17:01 55 14 8 194 (SSW) 1889 ptly cldy none 18:01 54 14 6 183 (S) 1275 ptly cldy none 19:01 51 12 5 194 (SSW) 1436 ptly cldy none 20:01 50 11 6 190 (S) 1456 ptly cldy none 21:01 50 11 4 189 (S) 1677 ptly cldy none 22:01 48 10 3 122 (ESE) 1747 ptly cldy none 23:01 49 9 5 178 (S) 2193 mstly cldy none 00:01 50 11 6 180 (S) 2258 mstly cldy none 01:01 50 12 6 182 (S) 1982 mstly cldy none 02:01 48 11 14 145 (SE) 2320 mstly cldy none 03:01 47 14 16 142 (SE) 1988 mstly cldy none 04:01 47 18 19 150 (SSE) 2602 ptly cldy none 05:01 47 23 16 152 (SSE) 2746 ptly cldy none 06:01 46 30 16 144 (SE) 2989 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
