Had some thin clouds during the second half, but they didn't cause too many problems. Apollo had a problem with a power supply. So the planned run was cancelled and Russet opted to check pointing for tomorrow morning. We ended at 05:39 for the night. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DD01 A I/H 05:17 06:43 Power supply problem with APOLLO ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:55 SPICAM 475( 454) -43 50 8.5 10.0 9.5 9.9 8.8 MSSSO V 1.25 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 7 5 344 (NNW) 77 mstly clr none 17:00 49 11 3 327 (NNW) 30 mstly clr none 18:00 49 17 17 312 (NW) 25 mstly clr none 19:00 50 14 11 290 (WNW) 64 mstly clr none 20:00 50 13 10 267 (W) 66 clear none 21:00 48 10 9 245 (WSW) 66 clear none 22:00 46 6 10 258 (WSW) 89 clear none 23:00 47 12 12 269 (W) 114 clear none 00:00 46 16 16 301 (WNW) 157 ptly cldy none 01:00 45 18 12 309 (NW) 175 ptly cldy none 02:00 45 17 18 294 (WNW) 186 mstly clr none 03:00 46 17 24 300 (WNW) 180 mstly clr none 04:00 46 15 19 298 (WNW) 203 mstly clr none 05:00 44 13 22 307 (NW) 325 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
