Ecam was streaking again. Had a problem with a streak near the top that corrected itself at the beginning of the night. Once centered on the guide star, during focus and at 5.0 secs on ND4, I was seeing the same streak without saturation. A good example is proc-e0049.fits. A few of the images around that time showed streaks. Closed at 23:35 due to radar and cloud cover. User gave up at 04:55. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:31 ECHELLE 437( -910) -39 58 6.6 7.7 7.8 7.8 6.8 ND4 0.71 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 45 29 5 342 (NNW) 146 mstly cldy none 17:00 45 26 6 338 (NNW) 109 mstly cldy none 18:00 45 29 13 307 (NW) 99 ptly cldy none 19:00 44 30 13 331 (NNW) 90 ptly cldy none 20:00 44 30 7 273 (W) 95 ptly cldy none 21:00 44 29 6 229 (SW) 79 ptly cldy none 22:00 44 31 11 212 (SSW) 89 mstly cldy none 23:00 44 31 11 201 (SSW) 78 mstly cldy none 00:00 42 31 10 210 (SSW) 101 mstly cldy none 01:00 42 30 12 225 (SW) 94 mstly cldy none 02:00 42 31 13 204 (SSW) 93 cloudy lt rain 03:00 41 32 15 226 (SW) 99 cloudy lt rain 04:00 39 32 14 235 (SW) 214 cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
