Both BC1 and NA2 eyelids were sticky but did open on second try. Other than that very productive night. Day staff please fill GFP around midday. I've been doing an additional fill around 2-3 pm over the weekend, then one before sunset that lasts till morning. CU03 will be logging in to take echelle cals in the early evening. Permissions already set. DIS can be dismounted. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:10 ECHELLE 511( -279) 16 26 16.3 17.7 18.0 17.1 16.4 ND3 2.12 23:11 ECHELLE 410( -589) 10 40 14.1 14.1 14.7 14.1 13.8 ND3 1.52 00:20 APOLLO 500( 1284) -36 21 14.4 14.0 14.5 14.1 14.3 2.00 01:22 dis-slit 403( 461) -108 38 15.8 14.2 14.7 14.3 14.8 1.76 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 74 44 14 186 (S) 980 mstly clr none 17:00 71 43 9 202 (SSW) 1085 mstly clr none 18:00 70 43 1 137 (SE) 1155 mstly clr none 19:00 67 40 6 101 (E) 679 mstly clr none 20:00 65 40 11 87 (E) 764 mstly clr none 21:00 62 41 15 79 (E) 979 mstly clr none 22:00 59 42 12 95 (E) 956 mstly clr none 23:00 58 42 17 89 (E) 933 mstly clr none 00:00 57 42 21 76 (ENE) 833 mstly clr none 01:00 58 43 17 71 (ENE) 845 mstly clr none 02:00 58 43 16 72 (ENE) 736 mstly clr none 03:00 60 42 12 58 (ENE) 778 mstly clr none 04:00 61 39 11 49 (NE) 765 mstly clr none 05:00 59 40 10 5 (N) 849 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
