Rest of the night went well, except for some clouds that disrupted guiding and forced PU01 to give up slightly early because she had faint targets. Jose (PU02) was able to absorb that time, so no sky time was forefeited. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:21 dis-slit 510( 266) -8 47 8.6 8.6 9.1 8.7 8.4 -- 1.87 19:55 dis-slit 510( 395) 223 54 9.5 11.3 11.3 11.1 9.8 -- 1.15 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 54 17 19 301 (WNW) 1383 clear none 17:00 53 17 16 275 (W) 1469 clear none 18:00 56 18 17 246 (WSW) 1609 clear none 19:00 52 14 11 245 (WSW) 1678 clear none 20:00 49 12 18 228 (SW) 2463 clear none 21:00 48 14 14 216 (SW) 2380 ptly cldy none 22:00 48 15 16 263 (W) 2118 mstly clr none 23:00 48 15 20 268 (W) 1849 mstly clr none 00:00 48 15 25 272 (W) 1849 mstly clr none 01:00 47 18 17 262 (W) 1719 ptly cldy none 02:00 47 17 22 277 (W) 1767 mstly cldy none 03:00 46 18 17 283 (WNW) 1768 cloudy none 04:00 46 18 29 295 (WNW) 1785 ptly cldy none 05:00 45 18 15 271 (W) 1778 mstly cldy none 06:00 44 18 10 274 (W) 1876 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
