Around midnight they cleared nicely, and the rest of the night was very productive. I had to reboot nimble this afternoon. It was failing on the checkout images, and a reset of Agile did not fix the problem. It seems to have come back from the reboot with no problems. Dis focus for first half somehoe didn't get written to the file. It was 1.08. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:03 AGILE 262(-2014) 251 56 2.4 2.5 2.8 2.7 2.5 sdss r 1.00 01:16 dcamera 245( 29) 352 51 2.1 2.3 2.8 2.5 2.2 -- 1.13 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 40 -1 1 327 (NNW) 238 mstly clr none 17:00 38 -10 10 293 (WNW) 192 ptly cldy none 18:00 39 -10 9 324 (NW) 194 ptly cldy none 19:00 39 -8 12 280 (W) 198 cloudy none 20:00 39 -9 11 265 (W) 196 cloudy none 21:00 38 -10 9 296 (WNW) 211 mstly cldy none 22:00 37 -10 12 264 (W) 198 mstly cldy none 23:00 38 -10 10 265 (W) 252 mstly cldy none 00:00 38 -10 12 274 (W) 252 clear none 01:00 37 -6 15 307 (NW) 275 clear none 02:00 36 -1 14 299 (WNW) 349 clear none 03:00 35 1 13 313 (NW) 392 clear none 04:00 33 3 13 319 (NW) 408 clear none 05:00 36 -4 23 324 (NW) 345 clear none 06:00 36 -7 10 334 (NNW) 256 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
