During first half I was able to do some more testing of the new guide software - it's nearly ready to go with Tspec, but is not working for Agile; even though the software is different, apparently there's enough crossover for interference. Second half was very peaceful. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:14 tcamera 615( 491) 10 58 -1.3 0.3 0.7 -0.1 -1.1 Ks 1.16 20:41 AGILE 650(-1806) 13 74 -0.9 -1.1 -0.6 -0.9 -1.0 BG40 1.28 00:27 dcamera 580( 161) -65 76 -0.6 -1.2 -1.0 -1.2 -0.6 - 1.79 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 32 16 9 265 (W) 405 ptly cldy none 17:00 31 18 15 281 (W) 405 mstly clr none 18:00 30 19 13 250 (WSW) 405 clear none 19:00 30 22 16 260 (W) 405 clear none 20:00 31 23 16 246 (WSW) 405 mstly clr none 21:00 30 22 16 266 (W) 405 ptly cldy none 22:00 30 23 18 240 (WSW) 405 ptly cldy none 23:00 30 22 12 265 (W) 405 mstly clr none 00:00 30 20 17 280 (W) 405 mstly clr none 01:00 31 17 18 271 (W) 405 mstly clr none 02:00 31 14 16 296 (WNW) 405 mstly clr none 03:00 30 11 16 323 (NW) 405 mstly clr none 04:00 30 10 13 300 (WNW) 405 mstly clr none 05:00 30 9 14 351 (N) 405 mstly clr none 06:00 30 7 18 331 (NNW) 405 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
