I had her subframe the DIS slitview images to speed transfer rate and I guided for her using the NA2 guider. A bit cumbersome but not much else we could do. No problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:39 dis-slit 282( -567) -28 48 -3.3 -1.4 -2.0 -2.3 -2.4 -- 2.20 18:10 dis-slit 242( -671) -43 68 -3.3 -2.3 -2.6 -3.0 -3.1 -- 1.50 00:09 dis-slit 185( -868) 54 48 -5.3 -5.5 -5.3 -5.9 -5.7 -- 1.43 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 30 7 19 273 (W) 562 mstly clr none 17:00 28 6 17 271 (W) 469 mstly clr none 18:00 26 9 14 303 (WNW) 522 mstly clr none 19:00 25 10 9 325 (NW) 572 mstly clr none 20:00 24 9 4 312 (NW) 413 mstly clr none 21:00 24 5 1 280 (W) 227 mstly clr none 22:00 23 0 13 343 (NNW) 64 mstly clr none 23:00 23 -1 8 341 (NNW) 40 mstly clr none 00:00 23 -1 7 2 (N) 60 mstly clr none 01:00 24 0 14 5 (N) 68 clear none 02:00 23 -1 7 6 (N) 47 clear none 03:00 24 -4 14 10 (N) 65 clear none 04:00 25 -6 13 17 (NNE) 30 mstly clr none 05:00 27 -11 19 3 (N) 158 mstly clr none 06:00 28 -13 16 13 (NNE) 85 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
