Everything worked well (no moves of the DIS turret were needed). Heavy dust down in the basin did not move up the mountain so dust levels here didn't go too high; a strong smoky smell in the dome in the morning was apparently from distant large fires in western NM or eastern AZ. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:13 dis-slit -69( 175) 155 61 17.4 18.3 17.7 17.3 17.2 - 1.40 01:14 dis-slit 53( 118) 201 73 15.2 15.1 15.2 14.6 14.7 - 1.40 16:00 71 18 17 272 (W) 3054 clear none 17:00 69 17 29 256 (WSW) 2109 clear none 18:00 70 17 27 238 (WSW) 2176 clear none 19:00 67 15 19 263 (W) 2238 clear none 20:00 64 15 20 265 (W) 2803 clear none 21:00 63 18 15 252 (WSW) 2109 clear none 22:00 63 19 16 250 (WSW) 2168 clear none 23:00 62 19 14 262 (W) 2120 clear none 00:00 61 19 18 266 (W) 1943 clear none 01:00 60 19 16 265 (W) 1652 clear none 02:00 59 19 16 265 (W) 1671 clear none 03:00 57 19 13 264 (W) 1652 clear none 04:00 55 19 15 262 (W) 1817 clear none 05:00 54 20 12 265 (W) 2246 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
