I left an empty LN2 dewar near the front of NICFPS this morning. My observer needed to take dis cals and I didn't want to invert DIS to move the dewar over to the wall. The daystaff can move it if they want, or I will do it in the afternoon. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:29 dis-slit 400( 326) 202 79 8.7 12.3 11.4 12.1 9.7 -- 1.00 00:11 dis-slit 433( 106) 165 57 7.2 7.1 7.6 7.2 7.0 -- 1.30 03:16 AGILE -1275(-2076) 128 76 6.9 6.9 7.4 6.8 6.9 SDSS r' 0.75 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 53 36 12 206 (SSW) 1675 mstly clr none 17:00 51 36 7 257 (WSW) 1717 ptly cldy none 18:00 54 38 5 216 (SW) 1694 ptly cldy none 19:00 52 37 2 227 (SW) 1917 ptly cldy none 20:00 48 35 2 208 (SSW) 1950 mstly clr none 21:00 46 33 12 82 (E) 2366 clear none 22:00 45 34 14 64 (ENE) 2355 clear none 23:00 44 34 14 52 (NE) 2492 clear none 00:00 46 24 15 58 (ENE) 2369 clear none 01:00 46 12 12 62 (ENE) 2541 clear none 02:00 44 9 9 92 (E) 2919 clear none 03:00 46 2 9 142 (SE) 3131 clear none 04:00 45 1 7 87 (E) 3216 clear none 05:00 43 12 9 83 (E) 3220 clear none 06:00 42 12 6 89 (E) 3009 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
