Apollo reports signal on two reflectors with really good signal on the last one. Some DIS slitviewer issues at the beginning before twilight. When =93expose= =94 was clicked it would just hang. Fritz Stauffer helped track down the problem. The old 1.5 slit masks were the wrong size, as a result the slitveiwer was not able to create an image. All was corrected before twilight. On and off clouds and mediocre seeing rest of 1st half. 2nd Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky No problems ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:25 DISslit -15(-18) 194 69 4.2 5.7 5.1 5.2 4.4 =96- 1.2 01:17 DISslit 50(-50) 129 78 2.7 3.0 2.5 2.8 2.7 -- 0.8 04:12 DISslit 0(-128) 250 65 2.5 2.0 1.4 1.8 2.1 -- 1.3 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 15:56 44 11 ?? 378 ptly cldy none 16:56 42 11 ?? 357 ptly cldy none 17:56 42 12 ?? 489 mstly clr none 18:56 41 14 ?? 622 clear none 19:56 39 13 ?? 730 clear none 20:56 39 12 ?? 943 mstly clr none 21:56 38 17 ?? 647 mstly clr none 22:56 40 17 ?? 621 mstly clr none 23:56 39 16 610 pt. cldy none 00:56 38 19 619 pt. cldy none 01:56 37 17 1279 mstly clr none 02:56 36 19 1248 mstly clr none 03:56 36 21 795 mstly clr none 04:56 36 21 702 mstly clr none 05:56 36 18 556 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
