This was taken care of prior to observing and did not cause any problems for the night. Night went well after that, some clouds came in at the very end which cut the last observer a little short. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:35 AGILE -1175(-1379) -118 63 16.6 18.4 18.3 17.6 16.7 BG40 1.20 23:11 ECHELLE 341( -601) 19 39 15.2 15.2 15.6 15.0 14.9 ND3 1.66 00:25 dis-slit 368( 442) 50 68 16.0 15.2 15.7 15.2 15.5 1.17 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 71 42 11 257 (WSW) 1046 mstly clr none 17:00 75 39 9 203 (SSW) 1114 mstly clr none 18:00 74 39 16 262 (W) 1123 clear none 19:00 70 33 13 89 (E) 961 clear none 20:00 67 29 9 89 (E) 831 clear none 21:00 64 30 14 109 (ESE) 903 clear none 22:00 61 30 20 120 (ESE) 1163 clear none 23:00 60 30 19 114 (ESE) 1183 clear none 00:00 59 30 9 97 (E) 1149 clear none 01:00 60 29 7 92 (E) 1101 clear none 02:00 61 31 1 87 (E) 1046 mstly clr none 03:00 58 31 8 10 (N) 1023 mstly clr none 04:00 59 31 6 345 (NNW) 1121 mstly clr none 05:00 60 31 6 298 (WNW) 1013 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
