There was some trouble during checkout with communications between the TCC and TUI, apparently in some odd state after daytime work. This was resolved with a telstop+telrun. After fit tests on the telescope, Agile had been left set up with its computer on the instrument cart. Unfortunately, some of the computer cables weren't long enough to reach the telescope. I ended up putting the computer on its own separate cart as it had been set up before, but I failed to untangle all of the strange cable routings, so they were left in a functional but very sloppy setup. ------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 50 48 7 270 (W) 291 ptly cldy none 17:00 49 47 5 282 (WNW) 145 ptly cldy humid 18:00 49 47 4 358 (N) 145 ptly cldy humid 19:00 49 45 6 4 (N) 253 mstly cldy none 20:00 47 44 17 59 (ENE) 218 cloudy none 21:00 46 43 17 63 (ENE) 256 cloudy none 22:00 47 43 15 73 (ENE) 287 cloudy none 23:00 47 41 9 85 (E) 369 cloudy none 00:00 47 37 1 208 (SSW) 471 cloudy none 01:00 47 40 11 78 (ENE) 433 mstly cldy none 02:00 45 44 5 185 (S) 267 ptly cldy humid 03:00 45 44 5 183 (S) 237 mstly cldy humid 04:00 43 43 2 100 (E) 201 mstly cldy lt rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
