Everything worked pretty well except for the fact that JHU is apparently running v1.1 of TUI, and I had some difficulty remembering details of the guider interface from that far back -- but we worked it out. I did have some issues with TUI v1.5a4, which I reported. ------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:15 dis-slit 77( 33) 120 56 5.6 7.0 7.0 5.8 5.6 1.70 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 50 11 15 255 (WSW) 2087 clear none 17:00 49 11 15 222 (SW) 2155 clear none 18:00 48 10 18 261 (W) 1929 clear none 19:00 46 8 19 247 (WSW) 1909 clear none 20:00 42 8 20 254 (WSW) 2399 clear none 21:00 42 9 17 266 (W) 2097 clear none 22:00 42 8 24 267 (W) 1712 clear none 23:00 42 8 18 275 (W) 1519 mstly clr none 00:00 42 6 16 288 (WNW) 1476 mstly clr none 01:00 42 2 15 273 (W) 1272 mstly clr none 02:00 42 -1 20 293 (WNW) 1268 mstly clr none 03:00 42 4 16 280 (W) 1375 mstly clr none 04:00 41 8 18 298 (WNW) 1318 mstly clr none 05:00 40 8 8 274 (W) 1244 mstly clr none 06:00 40 9 13 326 (NW) 1214 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
