Spent the time getting Agile back online successfully, and working on ARCTIC shutter testing. Completed fills at 04:00, and went to bed shortly after, as there was no hope of getting on sky. I ran the roof heaters until the temperature dropped below freezing. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 44 25 29 247 (WSW) 524 cloudy none 17:00 41 28 12 265 (W) 524 cloudy none 18:00 38 30 13 280 (W) 524 cloudy none 19:00 35 31 10 341 (NNW) 524 cloudy lt rain 20:00 36 31 18 266 (W) 524 cloudy lt rain 21:00 35 32 11 231 (SW) 524 cloudy lt rain 22:00 35 32 9 235 (SW) 524 cloudy lt rain 23:00 33 32 12 270 (W) 524 cloudy lt rain 00:00 34 32 14 260 (W) 524 cloudy lt rain 01:00 33 32 11 258 (WSW) 524 cloudy none 02:00 33 32 20 231 (SW) 524 cloudy none 03:00 32 32 13 265 (W) 524 cloudy lt rain 04:00 30 30 16 268 (W) 524 cloudy lt snow Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
