Got some rain the first hour or two. Opened for about two and a half hours around midning before humidity forced us closed again. Called it a night at 04:42. On ecam, the ND1 filter was allowing no light at all, they all looked like darks. Guy opted to use clear instead. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:01 ECHELLE 120( -970) 101 60 10.8 12.8 13.9 12.7 11.3 ND4 1.08 Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
