I doubt anything is wrong with the script, I think I just didn't click to activate the window and then hit start, so even though I thought it ran it really didn't. Seeing was 1.97, SDSS r, and sec focus was something like 248. Night was productive and clear, with decent seeing. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:13 SPICAM 473( -104) 87 34 -1.9 -1.4 -1.3 -1.5 -2.0 Clear 1.30 00:45 SPICAM 513( -163) -26 71 -2.1 -2.4 -2.1 -2.2 -2.2 SDSS r 0.94 01:06 NA2gdr -2136(27863) -17 60 -2.1 -2.4 -2.1 -2.2 -2.3 Clear 1.40 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 36 18 7 228 (SW) 109 clear none 17:00 32 17 3 251 (WSW) 96 clear none 18:00 30 17 5 125 (SE) 159 clear none 19:00 28 16 10 166 (SSE) 140 clear none 20:00 29 16 12 141 (SE) 73 clear none 21:00 28 15 16 143 (SE) 87 clear none 22:00 28 15 15 148 (SSE) 96 clear none 23:00 28 15 13 182 (S) 104 clear none 00:00 28 16 13 172 (S) 126 clear none 01:00 28 15 18 180 (S) 103 clear none 02:00 27 14 18 175 (S) 61 clear none 03:00 28 12 17 177 (S) 110 clear none 04:00 26 14 12 183 (S) 212 clear none 05:00 26 14 14 164 (SSE) 252 clear none 06:00 27 13 12 183 (S) 272 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
