Fritz got us back up and running. I switched back to the new guider for Echelle at 1 am while I waited for Miguel to sign in. This transition went smoothly. The night was overall mostly clear and very productive. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:42 tcamera 570( 1129) 27 54 11.1 13.6 13.4 13.3 11.5 -- 1.34 00:15 ecamera 649( -226) 113 57 9.4 10.1 10.7 10.0 10.0 ND1 1.50 04:00 ecamera 706( -170) 51 23 9.2 8.9 9.5 9.0 8.7 ND1 2.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 23 16 227 (SW) 962 clear none 17:00 61 20 19 261 (W) 1032 mstly clr none 18:00 60 19 11 266 (W) 932 mstly clr none 19:00 54 14 14 262 (W) 864 ptly cldy none 20:00 52 11 14 235 (SW) 892 ptly cldy none 21:00 52 11 16 219 (SW) 856 ptly cldy none 22:00 53 12 14 252 (WSW) 671 mstly clr none 23:00 52 11 15 223 (SW) 728 clear none 00:00 52 9 13 250 (WSW) 700 clear none 01:00 51 9 10 252 (WSW) 772 clear none 02:00 51 9 10 266 (W) 669 clear none 03:00 50 9 12 268 (W) 654 mstly clr none 04:00 50 8 14 296 (WNW) 628 mstly clr none 05:00 49 8 7 334 (NNW) 1643 mstly clr none 06:00 48 6 3 11 (N) 1246 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
