Local web sites worked fine, but others were hit and miss. I took a series of SPIcam flats for Bill after we called it a night at 05:00 due to weather. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:52 dis-slit 249( -520) -34 47 -0.8 0.2 -0.3 -0.4 -0.5 -- 1.50 21:42 dis-slit 200( -606) -122 33 -0.9 -1.0 -0.8 -1.3 -1.1 -- 2.10 23:15 dis-slit 270( -533) -119 27 -0.4 -1.2 -0.8 -1.1 -0.8 -- 2.30 00:23 dis-slit 212( -643) -122 59 -0.9 -1.2 -0.9 -1.4 -1.2 -- 1.77 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 32 -3 11 28 (NNE) 127 ptly cldy none 17:00 31 -4 16 8 (N) 98 ptly cldy none 18:00 31 -2 30 2 (N) 114 ptly cldy none 19:00 32 -1 12 39 (NE) 140 mstly cldy none 20:00 32 5 22 19 (NNE) 187 mstly cldy none 21:00 31 3 19 10 (N) 390 mstly cldy none 22:00 30 4 20 39 (NE) 219 mstly cldy none 23:00 30 8 34 24 (NNE) 153 mstly cldy none 00:00 30 7 15 17 (NNE) 170 mstly cldy none 01:00 30 4 19 23 (NNE) 148 cloudy none 02:00 31 2 27 19 (NNE) 122 cloudy none 03:00 34 1 24 29 (NNE) 138 cloudy none 04:00 33 -1 24 16 (NNE) 120 cloudy none 05:00 33 3 25 16 (NNE) 110 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
