Ketzeback Humidity kept up closed for the beginning of the night and then again at program change until about 3am. My second half observer had a great deal of trouble with her version of TUI (1.3). The dis-slitviewer would take and download images but not display them at all. I ran slitviewer for her. ------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:48 dis-slit -108(299) 105 40 12.0 13.4 12.4 13.4 12.3 - 1.7 03:05 dis-slit -58(199) 131 72 10.7 10.4 10.1 10.7 10.8 - 1.0 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 62 49 11 122 (ESE) 456 cloudy none 17:00 58 50 0 247 (WSW) 468 cloudy lt rain 18:00 54 52 9 82 (E) 520 cloudy rain 19:00 52 51 14 79 (E) 517 mstly cldy humid 20:00 52 47 23 69 (ENE) 359 mstly cldy humid 21:00 53 46 25 72 (ENE) 446 mstly cldy none 22:00 53 45 17 76 (ENE) 341 ptly cldy none 23:00 53 45 20 72 (ENE) 424 ptly cldy none 00:00 51 46 15 45 (NE) 643 clear none 01:00 51 47 12 77 (ENE) 611 clear humid 02:00 50 46 9 89 (E) 619 clear humid 03:00 52 45 5 85 (E) 649 clear none 04:00 52 45 3 44 (NE) 545 clear none 05:00 53 44 1 235 (SW) 468 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
