North wind slimbed above the limit early in second half but the observers were able to stay in the south and telemetry looked fine, so we kept going until the windspeed got near 40 mph. I checked out the Shack-Hartmann in preparation for upcoming engineering, and it seems all right. NICFPS mounted in the morning for in-dome cals. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:45 ecamera 875( -555) 100 58 -0.4 -0.7 -0.9 -0.8 -1.0 ND3 1.16 19:19 ecamera 775( -686) 96 59 -0.9 -1.4 -0.9 -1.4 -1.4 ND2 1.38 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 30 0 9 341 (NNW) 405 clear none 17:00 30 0 9 347 (NNW) 405 clear none 18:00 31 1 16 350 (N) 405 clear none 19:00 30 0 22 347 (NNW) 405 clear none 20:00 30 1 7 343 (NNW) 405 clear none 21:00 31 2 9 13 (NNE) 405 clear none 22:00 31 2 12 358 (N) 405 clear none 23:00 30 3 8 356 (N) 405 clear none 00:00 29 4 31 18 (NNE) 405 clear none 01:00 28 5 21 3 (N) 405 clear none 02:00 30 1 25 10 (N) 405 clear none 03:00 28 4 17 25 (NNE) 405 clear none 04:00 29 3 33 31 (NNE) 405 clear none 05:00 29 2 27 23 (NNE) 405 clear none 06:00 31 0 18 17 (NNE) 405 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed. The convention used is north=0 degrees, east=90 degrees. The dust count is particles > 1u per 0.1 cubic feet. TELESCOPE STATUS Telescope drives operational.
