A clearing (actually a sucker hole) at the very end of the night but with less than 20 mins before twilight we decided to just call it a night. For Fritz, I saw strange characters in the TUI log window when I switched instruments to the Echelle. See TUI log at time stamp 06:40:04 since the strange characters don't seem to cut/paste into the log window. I believe probably related to PR 1274. Looks to be related to ecam. I was able to succesfully take an ecam image after the error so not sure what it was. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 70 30 10 210 (SSW) 643 ptly cldy none 17:00 69 33 5 262 (W) 573 ptly cldy none 18:00 66 35 7 47 (NE) 635 mstly cldy lt rain 19:00 61 21 12 86 (E) 771 cloudy none 20:00 59 20 23 74 (ENE) 1040 cloudy none 21:00 58 21 22 77 (ENE) 957 cloudy none 22:00 54 27 17 74 (ENE) 1238 cloudy none 23:00 52 27 17 72 (ENE) 1312 cloudy none 00:00 50 27 26 74 (ENE) 1362 cloudy none 01:00 49 28 24 74 (ENE) 1488 cloudy none 02:00 48 28 20 74 (ENE) 1702 cloudy none 03:00 47 28 15 79 (E) 1479 cloudy none 04:00 46 28 18 78 (ENE) 1402 cloudy none 05:00 48 25 12 83 (E) 1480 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
