We started out with some issues in Az, but Fritz signed on and fixed them. All was well after that. Zeroed the rotator, reset axis controllers. Completed a regular pointing model, adjusted collimation with Shack-Hartman, did another pointing model. Checked Dis focus, checked Spicam instrument block, checked collimation on Spicam, and checked pointing on NA1. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:03 GUIDER 367( 400) 51 68 2.9 4.6 4.2 3.8 3.0 Clear 1.50 23:13 SPIcam 605( 487) 308 69 1.4 1.6 2.0 1.4 1.2 MSSSO R 1.18 00:03 SHACK 705( 970) 291 62 1.6 1.2 1.6 1.0 1.1 -- 1.30 01:09 GUIDER 720( 563) 0 67 0.6 0.8 1.4 0.7 0.7 Clear 1.26 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 43 13 14 299 (WNW) 667 clear none 17:00 43 12 9 267 (W) 609 clear none 18:00 44 11 4 267 (W) 652 clear none 19:00 42 9 5 280 (W) 763 clear none 20:00 38 6 3 13 (NNE) 825 clear none 21:00 37 9 11 34 (NE) 882 clear none 22:00 36 9 17 80 (E) 853 clear none 23:00 36 9 13 119 (ESE) 899 clear none 00:00 35 7 13 131 (SE) 920 clear none 01:00 35 8 13 165 (SSE) 916 clear none 02:00 34 7 10 165 (SSE) 1010 clear none 03:00 33 6 7 177 (S) 990 clear none 04:00 35 6 7 194 (SSW) 938 clear none 05:00 35 6 5 195 (SSW) 1035 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
