Swapped DD03/UC03 time slots since Woodgates group was using the GFP first. GFP folks had an internal light leak in their instrument, so remaining time was given to the UC03 program for use with DIS. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:47 GFP 239( -34) -62 82 3.9 5.4 5.7 4.8 4.0 6622A 0.77 20:53 GFP 139( -202) -94 56 4.7 3.9 4.4 3.7 3.2 6622A 0.96 22:55 dis-slit 336( -172) 45 60 4.5 3.7 4.1 3.6 4.0 -- 1.04 22:58 NA2gdr 3139(25139) 44 60 4.4 3.7 4.2 3.7 4.1 clear 1.00 03:30 dis-slit 295( -267) -88 56 3.0 2.5 3.0 2.6 2.5 -- 0.85 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 44 3 13 207 (SSW) 74 clear none 17:00 39 6 12 193 (SSW) 193 clear none 18:00 39 1 9 192 (SSW) 161 clear none 19:00 41 -8 9 219 (SW) 65 clear none 20:00 38 -4 19 212 (SSW) 78 clear none 21:00 39 -4 16 217 (SW) 87 ptly cldy none 22:00 40 4 15 227 (SW) 209 ptly cldy none 23:00 39 11 13 225 (SW) 279 ptly cldy none 00:00 39 14 18 211 (SSW) 467 ptly cldy none 01:00 37 15 17 213 (SSW) 736 mstly cldy none 02:00 38 14 17 224 (SW) 635 ptly cldy none 03:00 37 14 16 229 (SW) 719 ptly cldy none 04:00 38 13 12 224 (SW) 620 mstly clr none 05:00 37 12 16 211 (SSW) 686 mstly clr none 06:00 36 9 17 198 (SSW) 313 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
