Several instrument changes. I had to use the Tspec's dewar to fill GIFS because it was empty and I was filling in the dark during Ison comet ToO observations. I let it as it is to do faster. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:28 dcamera 657( 684) -55 46 5.2 6.9 7.0 7.0 5.6 -- 1.59 18:48 tcamera 701( 820) 283 57 5.0 5.1 5.5 5.0 4.8 -- 1.35 21:41 dcamera 599( 522) 259 42 5.6 4.8 5.1 5.0 5.2 -- 1.28 00:21 ecamera 687( -414) 281 33 5.4 5.0 5.3 5.2 5.2 ND2 1.47 Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
