Looked like C had problems. Moved to BC1 and then back to NA1 and this fixed the problem. APOLLO did some time jockeying with UW10 tonight. We had probably a dozen bats flying in and out of the enclosure this morning when I shut things down. Most of them left the building but a few decided to hole up somewhere on in the 3.5m enclosure rafters. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:40 dis-slit 228( 689) 68 74 20.7 22.8 21.7 21.3 21.4 -- 1.00 21:19 ECHELLE 243( -362) 116 39 20.5 21.8 21.0 20.4 20.7 ND1 1.20 03:22 APOLLO 400( 1363) 85 36 18.4 18.2 18.2 17.4 17.9 -- 1.70 04:56 ECHELLE 224( -638) 231 62 18.5 17.3 17.5 16.2 17.1 clear 1.20 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 80 37 17 232 (SW) 1513 clear none 17:00 80 38 13 252 (WSW) 1462 clear none 18:00 77 35 7 272 (W) 1108 clear none 19:00 77 34 5 229 (SW) 852 clear none 20:00 72 29 11 232 (SW) 1127 clear none 21:00 71 27 11 195 (SSW) 1298 clear none 22:00 69 27 9 186 (S) 1125 clear none 23:00 69 26 13 208 (SSW) 1023 clear none 00:00 68 25 13 236 (SW) 965 clear none 01:00 66 25 12 198 (SSW) 1008 clear none 02:00 66 26 8 248 (WSW) 1090 clear none 03:00 66 24 7 297 (WNW) 1331 clear none 04:00 65 22 6 353 (N) 1217 clear none 05:00 65 23 3 251 (WSW) 1215 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
