We had been running on 15 second exposures for hours, then switched to 5 seconds and then 1 sec. The streaks were present in the 5 second, the 1 second, and 2 seconds. Night was clear and productive. In the morning I mounting GIFS and swapped DIS gratings (the humidity was right at the 40% limit). Tspec was happy tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:37 dcamera 572( 397) 78 76 4.9 6.5 6.3 5.9 5.5 -- 0.96 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 45 22 15 265 (W) 260 clear none 17:00 43 27 15 238 (WSW) 389 clear none 18:00 40 27 14 235 (SW) 442 clear none 19:00 40 28 14 211 (SSW) 441 clear none 20:00 42 21 12 263 (W) 316 clear none 21:00 44 16 12 263 (W) 330 clear none 22:00 43 17 17 245 (WSW) 335 clear none 23:00 42 20 17 223 (SW) 478 clear none 00:00 42 22 13 225 (SW) 558 clear none 01:00 41 24 15 243 (WSW) 431 clear none 02:00 39 25 14 238 (WSW) 453 clear none 03:00 40 19 13 258 (WSW) 377 mstly clr none 04:00 39 18 11 263 (W) 339 mstly clr none 05:00 39 19 10 265 (W) 354 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
