I could not take an image (exposure in progress). A couple restarts of the gcam and gcamera actor seemed to reset the camera and fix the exposure problem No problems tonight otherwise (other than extremely slow internet/web access to offsite locals, telescope seemed to work fine though. I did the guiding for the observer). ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:57 DISslit 0(1216) 60 53 13.5/16.0 221 10 none 1.0 20:58 NA2gdr -3343(25656) 60 53 13.2/15.8 235 12 R 0.8 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:01 66 25 19 211 (SSW) 2399 Clear none 19:01 64 21 18 210 (SSW) 2365 Clear none 20:01 59 19 10 221 (SW) 2531 Clear none 21:01 56 18 4 196 (SSW) 2354 Clear none 22:01 57 18 14 215 (SW) 2406 Clear none 23:01 58 18 11 239 (WSW) 2530 Clear none 00:01 58 18 8 266 (W) 2806 Clear none 01:01 58 20 11 263 (W) 3288 Clear none 02:01 53 18 7 260 (W) 2809 Clear none 03:01 55 19 7 277 (W) 2449 Clear none 04:01 55 18 7 338 (NNW) 2520 Clear none 05:01 54 18 5 349 (NNW) 2386 Clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
