GIFS still has some LN2 left, and there is one full tank left against the wall. PU02 ToO 02:30 M. Kasliwal, Y.Cao- They checked in after I got Katelyn on sky, looking for time to get some quick spectra of a SN found from Palomar Transient Factory tonight. Katelyn agreed, and will agree on time to trade in the future. Since this was not scheduled, I did not modify the second-half schedule block. No problems during the 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:06 ecamera 607( -476) 180 80 4.8 6.3 5.0 5.9 85.0 ND1 1.16 20:00 ecamera 477( -643) 200 75 5.6 5.5 5.4 5.4 85.0 clear 0.72 01:58 tcamera 475( 600) 19 36 5.0 4.7 5.1 4.7 85.0 -- 1.00 02:38 dcamera 217( 120) 28 37 5.3 4.3 4.8 4.1 85.0 -- 1.43 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 43 18 6 279 (W) 169 clear none 17:00 43 18 9 318 (NW) 152 clear none 18:00 42 16 10 321 (NW) 191 clear none 19:00 41 17 1 345 (NNW) 200 clear none 20:00 42 17 5 315 (NW) 127 clear none 21:00 42 18 4 285 (WNW) 135 clear none 22:00 42 18 10 322 (NW) 147 clear none 23:00 41 18 1 354 (N) 159 clear none 00:00 41 19 9 7 (N) 162 clear none 01:00 42 19 2 347 (NNW) 151 clear none 02:00 41 19 6 340 (NNW) 165 clear none 03:00 41 18 3 347 (NNW) 159 clear none 04:00 38 19 1 213 (SSW) 246 clear none 05:00 40 20 8 325 (NW) 270 clear none 06:00 39 20 7 351 (N) 391 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
