I had a little trouble while testing the new guide software, and then I was unable to revert it properly back to the old software. So we did a lot of manual guiding during the second half of the night. Otherwise, everything 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 47 10 14 308 (NW) 524 clear none 17:00 46 11 5 353 (N) 524 clear none 18:00 45 11 3 5 (N) 524 clear none 19:00 42 9 4 323 (NW) 524 clear none 20:00 42 4 4 357 (N) 524 clear none 21:00 42 9 3 253 (WSW) 524 clear none 22:00 41 11 7 233 (SW) 524 clear none 23:00 41 12 8 289 (WNW) 524 ptly cldy none 00:00 44 9 8 290 (WNW) 524 ptly cldy none 01:00 45 6 11 269 (W) 524 ptly cldy none 02:00 45 8 9 265 (W) 524 mstly clr none 03:00 43 10 14 295 (WNW) 524 mstly clr none 04:00 41 13 12 296 (WNW) 524 mstly clr none 05:00 42 14 15 323 (NW) 524 mstly clr none 06:00 40 13 18 322 (NW) 524 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
