Ule dcam shutter continues to stick, about once in every four exposures. When observing bright objects with a smaller exposure time dcam shutter stuck once every two exposures. Ion pump on the echelle only showing one LED, but temperature is stable at -116C. Since all observers were on site they altered their schedules to accommodate target availability. Clouded out until 20:30, closed again at 21:30, resumed at 02:00 ECHELLE Shield manual fill: 16:30 06:30 ------------- FAILURE LOG -------------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (STEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:33 DIS 176 30.7 47 -4.1 -4 -3.9 -4.3 -4.3 --- 5.2 02:10 DIS 212 -46 40 -6.2 -5 -5.1 -5.6 -5.7 --- 6.6 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 28 19 21 344 (NNW) 200 ptly cldy none 17:00 27 18 12 332 (NNW) 301 ptly cldy none 18:00 26 19 13 345 (NNW) 233 mstly cldy none 19:00 26 18 13 308 (NW) 252 cloudy none 20:00 26 18 9 300 (WNW) 296 cloudy none 21:00 25 19 8 328 (NNW) 309 cloudy none 22:00 24 19 3 161 (SSE) 323 mstly cldy none 23:00 24 20 8 347 (NNW) 339 ptly cldy humid 00:00 23 20 2 310 (NW) 347 ptly cldy humid 01:00 22 20 9 332 (NNW) 347 clear humid 02:00 22 16 17 309 (NW) 489 clear none 03:00 20 15 11 41 (NE) 500 clear none 04:00 19 14 11 9 (N) 494 clear none 05:00 19 12 23 359 (N) 444 clear none 06:00 18 12 13 23 (NNE) 434 clear none TELESCOPE STATUS Telescope drives operational.
