After getting IH01 on sky, they reported connection issues, and were forced to disconnect from TUI. It took 25 minutes to re-establish a connection and get back on sky. No problems the rest of the night. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IH01 DIS NA 00:30 00:56 user had connection issues, not APO ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:57 ecamera 803( -245) -51 38 3.1 6.2 6.3 5.8 3.5 ND3 1.54 18:53 ecamera 733( -442) -55 29 1.4 3.3 3.6 2.3 1.4 ND2 3.46 18:59 ecamera 730( -506) -141 58 1.0 3.1 3.4 2.2 1.3 ND3 2.20 00:31 dcamera 564( 72) 121 63 -2.9 -2.9 -2.4 -2.8 -2.7 -- 3.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 46 12 2 252 (WSW) 405 clear none 17:00 44 12 4 182 (S) 405 clear none 18:00 37 6 19 76 (ENE) 405 clear none 19:00 34 5 26 64 (ENE) 405 clear none 20:00 32 4 27 75 (ENE) 405 clear none 21:00 30 6 24 67 (ENE) 405 clear none 22:00 28 8 27 68 (ENE) 405 clear none 23:00 28 9 19 78 (ENE) 405 clear none 00:00 27 8 21 72 (ENE) 405 clear none 01:00 27 6 19 78 (ENE) 405 clear none 02:00 27 3 13 79 (E) 405 clear none 03:00 28 3 12 80 (E) 405 clear none 04:00 34 6 4 183 (S) 405 clear none 05:00 33 6 2 129 (SE) 405 clear none 06:00 34 6 1 215 (SW) 405 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
