Borderline high winds required limitations in pointing for a while, but later dropped. I struggled a little with the special setup for DIS but managed not to lose any time. Otherwise, evertying worked well. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:15 dcamera 551( 665) 88 49 6.9 8.8 8.2 9.1 6.7 -- 1.11 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 46 16 16 349 (N) 211 clear none 17:00 46 15 18 337 (NNW) 144 mstly clr none 18:00 45 15 19 302 (WNW) 133 mstly clr none 19:00 44 15 24 293 (WNW) 163 mstly clr none 20:00 43 15 23 287 (WNW) 212 clear none 21:00 43 15 14 293 (WNW) 258 clear none 22:00 44 11 5 306 (NW) 96 clear none 23:00 45 9 6 337 (NNW) 96 clear none 00:00 44 10 13 339 (NNW) 103 clear none 01:00 44 9 14 319 (NW) 91 clear none 02:00 43 9 14 334 (NNW) 93 clear none 03:00 43 9 17 323 (NW) 96 mstly clr none 04:00 41 10 12 335 (NNW) 104 mstly clr none 05:00 41 11 10 327 (NNW) 98 mstly clr none 06:00 41 11 15 356 (N) 93 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
