It took Fritz and I a little while to get everything back to working order and we ran slighty into twilight (Don had to do some DIS cals in twilight, but no science time lost.). 1st half also chased GRB060507. No problems otherwise. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:34 DISslit -75(1034) 54 23 11.0/13.8 249 14 none 1.1 21:58 NICFPS 50(1555) -163 32 10.7/11.2 240 14 Ks 1.0 01:06 Echelle 2(-1580) 13 78 9.8/9.7 268 9 ND2 1.1 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:01 61 16 18 235 (SW) 2479 Clear none 19:01 57 13 16 260 (W) 2536 Clear none 20:01 53 9 17 259 (W) 2661 Clear none 21:01 51 10 11 247 (WSW) 2720 Clear none 22:01 51 11 13 238 (WSW) 2668 Clear none 23:01 51 9 12 266 (W) 2542 Clear none 00:01 50 10 11 267 (W) 2559 Clear none 01:01 50 12 14 279 (W) 2785 Clear none 02:01 49 15 9 267 (W) 2731 Clear none 03:01 49 16 5 267 (W) 2681 Clear none 04:01 49 17 6 285 (WNW) 2759 Clear none 05:01 48 17 5 335 (NNW) 2965 Clear none 06:01 49 15 6 1 (N) 2469 Clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
