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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:40 dis-slit -277( 335) -14 57 15.5 19.8 18.7 18.7 16.3 -- 1.4 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 71 37 3 260 (W) 414 mstly clr none 17:00 70 38 10 71 (ENE) 446 mstly clr none 18:00 68 39 14 82 (E) 468 mstly clr none 19:00 65 41 17 74 (ENE) 560 mstly clr none 20:00 61 43 16 77 (ENE) 755 mstly clr none 21:00 60 43 19 65 (ENE) 802 mstly clr none 22:00 58 45 21 72 (ENE) 1065 mstly clr none 23:00 57 46 22 74 (ENE) 1143 mstly clr none 00:00 57 47 18 73 (ENE) 1102 mstly clr none 01:00 56 48 19 69 (ENE) 1235 mstly clr none 02:00 56 47 16 70 (ENE) 1198 mstly clr none 03:00 57 44 14 76 (ENE) 1054 mstly clr none 04:00 56 45 13 75 (ENE) 992 mstly clr none 05:00 58 32 5 115 (ESE) 1031 mstly clr none 06:00 56 37 10 69 (ENE) 682 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
