I dis some service observing for Bill, and Russet did more to track down the slitviewer hangups. The new version of the TCC did well. We closed for heavy clouds at 23:00, and they stayed with us the rest of the night. WE also had high humidity in that time. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:08 SPIcam 200( 796) 189 31 12.7 14.7 14.5 14.2 85.0 MSSSO R 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 61 31 14 216 (SW) 527 clear none 17:00 60 31 13 191 (S) 520 clear none 18:00 59 31 10 189 (S) 502 clear none 19:00 55 31 10 182 (S) 558 mstly clr none 20:00 55 25 3 181 (S) 863 ptly cldy none 21:00 56 27 14 184 (S) 392 mstly cldy none 22:00 56 30 19 193 (SSW) 691 mstly cldy none 23:00 56 30 20 191 (S) 656 cloudy none 00:00 56 29 20 227 (SW) 604 cloudy none 01:00 55 30 16 221 (SW) 1064 cloudy none 02:00 50 30 7 224 (SW) 1244 cloudy none 03:00 50 29 12 247 (WSW) 653 cloudy humid 04:00 49 29 9 269 (W) 534 cloudy humid 05:00 49 28 9 280 (W) 573 cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
