I worked on DIS internal focus, and when there was an opportunity to open I tried to check DIS spectrograph vs slitviewer focus, but conditions were not good enough. I was able to update the guider instrument block and reconfirm some of last night's results with pointing and collimation. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02:17 dcamera 378( 853) 27 49 13.9 15.8 15.9 15.4 14.1 - 1.68 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 74 39 11 300 (WNW) 755 ptly cldy none 17:00 76 42 7 260 (W) 755 ptly cldy none 18:00 76 41 11 222 (SW) 755 ptly cldy lt rain 19:00 69 41 7 107 (ESE) 755 ptly cldy none 20:00 68 41 2 239 (WSW) 755 mstly cldy none 21:00 66 41 6 113 (ESE) 755 cloudy none 22:00 66 44 5 357 (N) 755 cloudy rain 23:00 63 46 6 183 (S) 755 cloudy lt rain 00:00 63 46 6 243 (WSW) 755 cloudy none 01:00 63 44 7 286 (WNW) 755 cloudy none 02:00 59 48 5 269 (W) 755 ptly cldy none 03:00 57 48 6 347 (NNW) 755 ptly cldy none 04:00 58 47 7 350 (N) 755 ptly cldy none 05:00 60 45 5 20 (NNE) 755 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
