We were open the whole time, but there were long stretches of watching the clouds go by. I counted this time against weather. For the short engineering, we used Shack for collimation and an altitude sweep. Coma is excellent. Tspec was in a bad state through all of my darks. I didn't see any good ones. Around 01:40, the ARCSAT user reported that his ACP webpage was unresponsive. He gave up at that time, so I closed it myself. I found MAxim was crashed, but all else was well. Reopened it, and closed the dome with no other problems. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:11 dcamera 282( 238) 103 61 6.4 8.8 8.6 8.9 7.4 -- 1.07 01:17 shack 632( 975) 11 62 5.7 5.7 6.3 5.8 5.6 -- 1.50 03:27 ecamera 468( -754) 88 21 5.6 5.1 5.7 5.2 5.0 ND3 1.90 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 46 29 6 303 (WNW) 265 mstly cldy none 17:00 45 28 5 24 (NNE) 257 mstly cldy none 18:00 43 30 2 294 (WNW) 259 ptly cldy none 19:00 43 28 2 255 (WSW) 320 ptly cldy none 20:00 43 28 8 267 (W) 293 ptly cldy none 21:00 44 28 9 265 (W) 392 ptly cldy none 22:00 44 31 10 266 (W) 435 ptly cldy none 23:00 44 30 8 262 (W) 604 ptly cldy none 00:00 44 31 10 256 (WSW) 823 ptly cldy none 01:00 43 32 12 268 (W) 657 mstly clr none 02:00 43 33 13 273 (W) 480 clear humid 03:00 43 33 15 286 (WNW) 551 clear none 04:00 41 34 14 294 (WNW) 442 clear none 05:00 42 34 18 302 (WNW) 351 clear none 06:00 42 33 14 314 (NW) 369 clear humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
