We had a patch of high winds, and it's starting to get a bit chilly out. We were very productive, and had an excellent night. GIFS was cooled tonight, and I did not fill it this morning so the hold time could be monitored. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:27 dcamera 175( 502) -15 43 10.6 12.8 12.9 12.6 85.0 -- 1.50 20:53 SPIcam 371( 666) 72 71 9.3 9.7 10.3 9.9 85.0 SDSS r 1.07 22:37 AGILE 221(-1679) 56 41 9.0 9.2 9.7 9.2 85.0 SDSS r 1.25 22:37 AGILE 221(-1679) 56 41 9.0 9.2 9.7 9.2 85.0 SDSS r 1.25 00:25 dcamera 211( 302) -19 64 8.6 8.6 9.1 8.6 85.0 -- 1.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 55 29 13 267 (W) 521 clear none 17:00 57 28 18 216 (SW) 537 clear none 18:00 55 27 13 265 (W) 551 clear none 19:00 50 26 17 254 (WSW) 518 clear none 20:00 50 25 17 239 (WSW) 707 clear none 21:00 50 24 17 248 (WSW) 741 clear none 22:00 49 24 25 252 (WSW) 552 clear none 23:00 49 24 19 276 (W) 586 clear none 00:00 48 27 18 278 (W) 741 clear none 01:00 48 27 19 292 (WNW) 794 clear none 02:00 48 26 4 293 (WNW) 839 clear none 03:00 47 27 13 289 (WNW) 798 clear none 04:00 46 27 14 301 (WNW) 817 clear none 05:00 46 28 8 350 (N) 757 clear none 06:00 45 27 10 303 (WNW) 693 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
