The instruments and telescope behaved well. I was also working with the echelle, which has been freshly re-cooled after pumping; it still has a few issues to clear up, but the chip temperature and vacuum appear good. APOLLO had an electronics problem that there wasn't time to fix, so had to cede its time. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:25 dis-slit 191( 66) 208 57 11.5 13.6 12.6 12.3 12.0 - 1.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 60 20 18 262 (W) 1604 clear none 17:00 65 22 27 233 (SW) 1344 clear none 18:00 61 19 18 265 (W) 955 clear none 19:00 57 15 22 254 (WSW) 1301 clear none 20:00 53 16 13 249 (WSW) 1170 clear none 21:00 53 18 13 264 (W) 1321 clear none 22:00 52 17 12 264 (W) 1346 clear none 23:00 51 18 19 283 (WNW) 1571 clear none 00:00 51 18 23 278 (W) 1310 clear none 01:00 50 19 14 275 (W) 917 clear none 02:00 50 18 26 285 (WNW) 983 clear none 03:00 48 19 21 286 (WNW) 871 clear none 04:00 47 18 14 266 (W) 835 clear none 05:00 47 16 22 272 (W) 710 clear none 06:00 46 14 15 266 (W) 605 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
