Clouds/nearby rain at 20:00 led to dome closure until 23:00. Night was clear after that. First observer noted that the cloud cam wasn't working properly. Determined the problem was that the disk on Zaphod is full, notified Jon Brinkmann and Fritz Stauffer of the problem. Almost out of N2 as well. Tspec tank is dry, no replacement upstairs, put the hose on NICFPS' lower bed. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:06 ECHELLE 289(-1170) 170 73 2.3 5.6 5.3 5.3 3.0 ND2 1.45 23:15 ECHELLE 402(-1194) 230 45 2.3 2.5 2.8 2.6 2.0 ND2 1.60 01:31 TSPEC 318( -63) 276 41 1.7 1.8 2.2 1.8 1.7 1.92 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 43 14 5 247 (WSW) 250 ptly cldy none 17:00 45 14 10 295 (WNW) 315 mstly clr none 18:00 38 14 9 307 (NW) 317 mstly clr none 19:00 36 15 5 319 (NW) 337 ptly cldy none 20:00 37 11 8 13 (NNE) 277 cloudy none 21:00 37 11 3 354 (N) 215 cloudy none 22:00 37 15 7 2 (N) 185 cloudy none 23:00 37 15 8 75 (ENE) 249 mstly clr none 00:00 37 17 10 80 (E) 265 mstly clr none 01:00 36 17 12 82 (E) 264 clear none 02:00 35 17 10 84 (E) 200 clear none 03:00 35 18 13 71 (ENE) 176 clear none 04:00 35 19 12 82 (E) 186 clear none 05:00 35 20 13 67 (ENE) 183 clear none 06:00 34 21 11 84 (E) 261 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
