Davenport Despite clouds during the day, the sky was clear enough in the evening to open a bit early! Dis got hung up flushing an exposure when the user aborted a bias. Bill and I tried restarting the hubs and several dis init commands. Finally we stop/started dis-icc and tried a dis init cameras. This worked and dis behaved after that. Stayed open rest of night. Clouds started coming in right before we closed. No other 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:52 DISslit 25(635) 97 50 16.6 18.7 17.5 18.1 16.9 -- 1.3 22:57 DISslit -67(425) 262 69 15.5 16.0 15.6 16.1 15.5 -- 1.5 02:58 DISslit 54(517) 31 73 16.8 14.9 14.6 15.4 16.0 -- 1.4 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 64 49 2 55 (NE) 516 mstly clr none 17:00 67 48 11 131 (SE) 487 mstly clr none 18:00 67 49 10 144 (SE) 511 clear none 19:00 66 46 6 86 (E) 385 clear none 20:00 63 45 14 111 (ESE) 435 clear none 21:00 61 44 14 83 (E) 406 clear none 22:00 61 47 14 138 (SE) 496 clear none 23:00 60 46 20 127 (SE) 531 clear none 00:00 59 47 22 124 (SE) 513 clear none 01:00 57 46 17 111 (ESE) 650 clear none 02:00 60 39 8 88 (E) 524 clear none 03:00 63 34 1 126 (SE) 383 mstly clr none 04:00 60 45 8 139 (SE) 512 ptly cldy none 05:00 59 45 5 167 (SSE) 514 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
