I reinitialized the axes a few times, and attempted to connect with talk2boxes, but after 20 minutes, we decided that we could proceed without it and not lose more sky time. Will fix tomorrow. Ran a few engineering tasks. See separate email. Closed at 23:20 due to high winds and poor seeing. Towards the end, APOLLO gave up early and gave time to IH01. Listed this time as weather loss for APOLLO. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NM07 Agile I/S 17:40 18:00 rotator error ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:19 AGILE 284(-2324) -48 33 -4.8 -4.9 -4.5 -5.0 -4.9 SDSS-r 1.65 18:47 AGILE 359(-2284) -19 57 -4.5 -4.9 -4.5 -4.8 -4.7 SDSS-r 1.35 20:14 dcamera 368( -232) -3 55 -4.7 -5.1 -4.7 -5.0 -4.9 - 1.74 21:15 shack 568( 518) -68 50 -4.9 -5.2 -4.7 -5.0 -5.1 - 1.50 21:49 shack 518( 451) -80 60 -5.2 -5.3 -4.9 -5.2 -5.2 - 1.20 00:15 dcamera 421( -151) 42 48 -4.5 -4.7 -4.5 -4.5 -4.6 - 1.77 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 23 14 15 309 (NW) 129 clear none 17:00 22 14 30 1 (N) 172 clear none 18:00 23 14 23 6 (N) 203 clear none 19:00 24 15 20 6 (N) 117 clear none 20:00 23 15 21 357 (N) 90 clear none 21:00 23 15 15 10 (N) 142 clear none 22:00 23 15 17 13 (NNE) 83 clear none 23:00 25 11 32 5 (N) 355 clear none 00:00 25 10 22 20 (NNE) 207 clear none 01:00 25 10 15 28 (NNE) 156 clear none 02:00 26 8 19 19 (NNE) 77 clear none 03:00 26 7 20 14 (NNE) 109 clear none 04:00 25 8 28 19 (NNE) 53 clear none 05:00 28 -3 7 356 (N) 93 clear none 06:00 32 -8 15 26 (NNE) 43 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
