Primary transverse load cell was noisy at low to mid altitudes. Slewing several times between high and low altitudes did not seem to help it settle. Minor issue with the AGILE TUI widget. For all other users except obs1 the filter change drop down menu is pink. Restarting Nubs and updating status did not change the remote users widget. Jack submitted a problem report (PR1070). ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:00 dis-slit 271( 103) 122 35 3.7 3.9 3.2 2.9 3.5 Clear 1.12 18:02 NA2gdr -1527(20472) 122 35 3.7 3.9 3.2 2.8 3.6 Clear 1.08 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 37 8 8 15 (NNE) 1084 clear none 17:00 38 -13 7 4 (N) 2229 clear none 18:00 39 -13 8 351 (N) 1833 clear none 19:00 38 -13 13 24 (NNE) 1423 clear none 20:00 39 -12 10 4 (N) 1497 clear none 21:00 40 -12 7 4 (N) 1177 clear none 22:00 40 -11 8 10 (N) 1323 clear none 23:00 40 -11 2 146 (SE) 1204 clear none 00:00 35 -16 3 198 (SSW) 1527 clear none 01:00 36 -15 2 219 (SW) 1375 clear none 02:00 39 -14 1 216 (SW) 1369 clear none 03:00 38 -14 1 225 (SW) 1274 clear none 04:00 39 -13 1 241 (WSW) 1205 clear none 05:00 39 -13 1 223 (SW) 1249 clear none 06:00 39 -12 6 46 (NE) 1105 clear none TELESCOPE STATUS Telescope drives operational.
