Pointing seemed fine at both NA2 and NA1. Clouds got too thick to observe at 23:10. We reopened at 02:38 with clouds interfering during the end of the second program. George's program was able to observe thru the clouds. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:33 dis-slit 307( 437) 51 78 14.5 16.3 16.7 16.1 14.7 -- 1.02 02:42 ECHELLE 482( -677) -155 85 11.5 11.6 12.3 11.8 11.4 ND4 1.18 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 69 28 19 245 (WSW) 2588 mstly cldy none 17:00 69 26 30 226 (SW) 2727 mstly cldy none 18:00 63 20 29 251 (WSW) 1602 ptly cldy none 19:00 62 18 30 253 (WSW) 2505 ptly cldy none 20:00 59 17 22 246 (WSW) 1741 ptly cldy none 21:00 58 12 23 264 (W) 1984 mstly cldy none 22:00 58 15 21 264 (W) 1541 mstly cldy none 23:00 57 14 18 251 (WSW) 1346 cloudy none 00:00 56 13 18 252 (WSW) 1858 cloudy none 01:00 55 11 19 262 (W) 1625 cloudy none 02:00 54 11 20 269 (W) 1513 cloudy none 03:00 52 11 16 271 (W) 1459 mstly cldy none 04:00 50 11 12 307 (NW) 1629 cloudy none 05:00 50 14 13 307 (NW) 1436 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
