Very productive. We had one problem early in the night that lasted for about an hour. The internet connection between here and the NMSU astronomy department seemed to be down, so Anjum had a lot of trouble on TUI and Newton, and Dmitry had trouble with ARCSAT. It eventually came back, and everything went back to normal. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:51 AGILE 450(-1978) 104 65 -1.3 -0.6 -0.8 -1.0 -1.6 BG40(B lot) 0.97 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 0 -16 3 20 (NNE) 156 clear none 17:00 0 -18 7 299 (WNW) 178 clear none 18:00 -1 -17 6 325 (NW) 191 clear none 19:00 -1 -17 12 319 (NW) 241 clear none 20:00 -1 -16 20 315 (NW) 291 clear none 21:00 -1 -10 18 297 (WNW) 768 clear none 22:00 -1 -10 19 297 (WNW) 743 clear none 23:00 -1 -11 16 306 (NW) 673 clear none 00:00 -1 -11 16 313 (NW) 680 clear none 01:00 0 -11 16 4 (N) 543 clear none 02:00 0 -13 9 7 (N) 441 clear none 03:00 0 -15 11 336 (NNW) 403 clear none 04:00 0 -16 8 14 (NNE) 288 clear none 05:00 0 -21 5 10 (N) 208 clear none 06:00 -1 -19 16 339 (NNW) 293 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
