No problems all night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:13 ecamera 518( -284) -4 40 7.3 11.1 10.4 11.1 85.0 ND2 1.42 21:51 ecamera 721( -197) -47 26 7.7 8.3 9.5 8.0 85.0 ND2 1.34 00:11 ecamera 675( -334) 151 66 7.7 7.5 9.0 7.4 85.0 ND3 1.20 03:51 ecamera 624( -363) 31 33 7.3 7.3 8.6 7.3 85.0 ND2 1.47 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 48 36 2 7 (N) 375 clear none 17:00 49 37 6 351 (N) 364 ptly cldy none 18:00 47 40 1 200 (SSW) 327 mstly clr none 19:00 46 38 3 323 (NW) 373 mstly cldy none 20:00 47 39 7 292 (WNW) 314 ptly cldy none 21:00 47 40 6 259 (W) 298 clear none 22:00 46 41 3 240 (WSW) 491 mstly clr none 23:00 46 41 7 262 (W) 560 clear none 00:00 46 40 9 244 (WSW) 651 clear none 01:00 46 39 9 239 (WSW) 457 clear none 02:00 47 37 9 262 (W) 364 clear none 03:00 47 36 11 266 (W) 374 clear none 04:00 45 38 11 260 (W) 410 clear humid 05:00 43 39 16 237 (WSW) 531 clear humid 06:00 43 39 18 224 (SW) 931 clear humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
