Lots of moths! Closed for about 2 hrs during 2nd half due to elevated dust. NICFPS had a bad file during checkout but behaved well during science. Good seeing all night but dust and smoke made Apollo observations difficult. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:00 NICFPS 408( 1246) 279 52 19.3 20.1 20.1 19.8 19.2 0.93 23:23 APOLLO 408( 1330) 6 31 16.9 17.1 17.6 16.9 16.7 1.20 00:23 TSPEC 369( 755) 19 34 16.9 16.6 17.1 16.4 16.3 0.96 02:52 TSPEC 432( 786) -24 33 15.8 15.9 16.8 15.8 15.5 1.22 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 74 31 14 268 (W) 1809 clear none 17:00 74 31 11 242 (WSW) 2028 clear none 18:00 70 28 13 237 (WSW) 1917 clear none 19:00 71 29 17 255 (WSW) 2351 clear none 20:00 67 25 9 258 (WSW) 2778 clear none 21:00 67 24 10 257 (WSW) 3323 clear none 22:00 65 21 12 265 (W) 3165 clear none 23:00 63 21 17 289 (WNW) 3320 clear none 00:00 63 19 13 299 (WNW) 2868 clear none 01:00 62 19 0 307 (NW) 3388 clear none 02:00 63 18 8 21 (NNE) 7908 clear dust 03:00 62 18 8 54 (NE) 4613 clear dust 04:00 60 17 6 25 (NNE) 3632 clear none 05:00 59 17 8 16 (NNE) 3169 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
