Enclosure dust counts were approaching closure limits at ~20:00, so I shut off the tel and ent exhaust fans, shut the stairwell door, and turned on the press fans. Weather held out all night, and we were very productive. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:43 ECHELLE 655(-1078) -150 67 0.3 0.3 0.9 0.5 0.3 clear 0.82 23:23 dis-slit 547( -149) 281 68 0.2 0.1 0.8 0.2 -0.1 -- 1.25 00:46 dis-slit 447( -229) -108 33 -0.3 -0.4 0.7 -0.3 -0.4 -- 1.87 01:22 ECHELLE 762( -979) -74 36 -0.6 -0.6 0.7 -0.5 -0.7 clear 1.53 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 39 2 10 252 (WSW) 2425 clear none 17:00 36 -1 8 254 (WSW) 2350 clear none 18:00 38 0 9 253 (WSW) 2665 clear none 19:00 33 -2 13 234 (SW) 3182 clear none 20:00 32 -2 13 256 (WSW) 3390 clear none 21:00 32 -1 12 266 (W) 4065 clear none 22:00 33 -1 10 268 (W) 4279 clear dust 23:00 32 -2 11 307 (NW) 4100 clear none 00:00 32 -3 3 75 (ENE) 3025 clear none 01:00 31 -3 21 15 (NNE) 2082 clear none 02:00 31 -4 20 12 (NNE) 1967 clear none 03:00 31 -4 8 12 (NNE) 1270 clear none 04:00 30 -5 13 19 (NNE) 1129 clear none 05:00 28 -4 4 12 (NNE) 1720 clear none 06:00 27 -5 9 308 (NW) 1116 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
