SPIcam only needed the nubs restarted, but ARCTIC needed a full ICC restart. Nicfps started out fine, but needd the nubs restarted a few hours later. After that, all was well except for some connection issues for Matt Hilton. Otherwise, seeing was good. Except for some thin, hazy clouds later in the night, all was clear. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:48 NICFPS 350( 779) 39 47 5.4 8.2 7.9 8.0 6.9 MK-Ks 1.24 00:08 NA2gdr -2220(40779) 96 69 5.2 5.9 6.7 6.2 5.8 Clear 0.88 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 44 -4 1 209 (SSW) 134 clear none 17:00 41 -5 10 44 (NE) 178 clear none 18:00 42 -6 8 43 (NE) 109 clear none 19:00 43 -5 2 5 (N) 143 clear none 20:00 46 -4 0 258 (WSW) 112 clear none 21:00 44 -4 1 292 (WNW) 125 clear none 22:00 44 -4 1 184 (S) 108 clear none 23:00 45 -2 5 211 (SSW) 86 clear none 00:00 44 -2 2 228 (SW) 113 clear none 01:00 42 -6 3 197 (SSW) 116 clear none 02:00 43 -4 4 240 (WSW) 61 mstly clr none 03:00 42 -4 4 191 (S) 110 ptly cldy none 04:00 43 -5 4 194 (SSW) 57 ptly cldy none 05:00 43 -5 5 191 (S) 53 ptly cldy none 06:00 42 -6 3 228 (SW) 50 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
