Apollo was only able to get a little usable data with the clouds. Determined the Weather display flickering is due to a bad HD cable. If screen goes black wiggling the cable brings it back. TSPEC slitviewer guiding mask file looks a little off. The slit is further right than the mask covers. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:01 ECHELLE -136(-516) 251 62 13.3 14.6 14.2 13.8 13.4 ND1 0.90 01:14 APOLLO -50(1005) -13 30 12.5 12.4 12.6 11.7 12.2 1.50 02:12 TSPEC 58(558) 162 53 12.1 12.0 12.2 11.3 11.8 1.25 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 63 17 22 262 (W) 1124 ptly cldy none 17:00 65 18 28 251 (WSW) 1164 ptly cldy none 18:00 63 17 25 256 (WSW) 1094 ptly cldy none 19:00 59 14 10 252 (WSW) 1141 ptly cldy none 20:00 57 14 15 268 (W) 3081 ptly cldy dust 21:00 56 14 11 268 (W) 1732 ptly cldy none 22:00 56 14 12 269 (W) 1170 mstly cldy none 23:00 56 13 17 266 (W) 1051 ptly cldy none 00:00 55 13 14 290 (WNW) 1139 ptly cldy none 01:00 54 14 16 280 (W) 1143 ptly cldy none 02:00 54 14 15 275 (W) 1238 mstly cldy none 03:00 54 12 16 269 (W) 1279 mstly cldy none 04:00 53 12 10 244 (WSW) 1394 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
