Considering the awful seeing, we had a very productive night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:25 dcamera 586( 308) 79 65 -0.4 1.4 1.9 0.7 -0.1 -- 3.00 22:26 ecamera 701( -789) 117 67 -1.8 -1.8 -1.3 -1.6 -1.8 ND2 2.80 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 38 15 11 7 (N) 1575 mstly clr none 17:00 38 13 20 317 (NW) 782 mstly clr none 18:00 39 9 6 251 (WSW) 749 mstly clr none 19:00 37 15 13 22 (NNE) 819 mstly clr none 20:00 33 21 13 75 (ENE) 789 mstly clr none 21:00 30 18 16 60 (ENE) 524 ptly cldy none 22:00 29 18 8 91 (E) 503 ptly cldy none 23:00 29 17 19 49 (NE) 435 cloudy none 00:00 29 16 24 72 (ENE) 882 cloudy none 01:00 28 15 17 62 (ENE) 455 mstly clr none 02:00 27 15 19 82 (E) 485 mstly clr none 03:00 26 14 20 73 (ENE) 476 clear none 04:00 25 13 20 76 (ENE) 388 clear none 05:00 25 13 19 74 (ENE) 423 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
