Overcast, humid and windy for most of first half. Cleared and was able to open for the rest of the night. Humid rest of the night. Attempted to do collimation with Shack-Hartmann, but had issues. Checked collimation with Agile, all is well. Did pointing model with NA2 guider. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:58 NICFPS 153( -109) 203 55 -5.3 -1.6 0.1 -3.1 -4.4 MK-Ks 1.75 00:02 APOLLO 400( 172) 1 81 -5.9 -4.4 -3.4 -5.0 -5.9 -- 2.50 02:41 GUIDER 581( -330) 141 84 -7.0 -7.0 -6.6 -7.2 -7.4 clear 1.40 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 36 24 27 240 (WSW) 2447 cloudy dust 17:00 35 23 17 252 (WSW) 2154 cloudy dust 18:00 29 20 23 281 (W) 8769 cloudy humid 19:00 26 23 8 262 (W) 2346 cloudy humid 20:00 25 20 26 274 (W) 958 cloudy humid 21:00 25 14 21 273 (W) 2243 ptly cldy humid 22:00 22 11 22 281 (W) 1307 clear none 23:00 22 9 21 290 (WNW) 607 clear none 00:00 21 9 14 263 (W) 258 clear none 01:00 20 14 13 279 (W) 319 clear humid 02:00 19 15 15 301 (WNW) 301 clear humid 03:00 18 14 5 335 (NNW) 284 clear humid 04:00 18 11 6 323 (NW) 300 clear humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
