So progress was slower than I hoped, but I managed to get the collimation looking good, took a pointing model, and did some instrument-specific tests that got interrupted by clouds moving in. ------- 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 62 48 8 288 (WNW) 2953 mstly clr none 17:00 60 48 3 268 (W) 36 mstly clr none 18:00 61 45 4 264 (W) 267 mstly clr none 19:00 58 45 7 264 (W) 2489 mstly clr none 20:00 54 45 8 116 (ESE) 2447 mstly clr none 21:00 54 46 6 127 (SE) 669 clear none 22:00 52 45 5 195 (SSW) 753 clear none 23:00 54 48 9 192 (SSW) 137 clear none 00:00 53 47 6 180 (S) 65 clear none 01:00 53 49 7 183 (S) 10 clear none 02:00 53 48 5 190 (S) 904 ptly cldy none 03:00 55 45 8 292 (WNW) 1479 ptly cldy none 04:00 56 45 5 273 (W) 2182 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
