We never had to close, but they there too thick for the Adler group to get much. Clouds cleared during second half. No other problems. *The last line of the focus log did not get written properly. The seeing and the time are correct, but the rest of the info is from when I closed. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:13 dcamera 500( 573) 37 43 5.4 7.8 7.4 8.0 6.0 -- 1.44 23:26 SPIcam 328( 333) 290 45 4.0 3.6 4.0 3.3 3.7 SDSS r 0.80 01:15 dcamera 341( 238) 104 20 3.4 3.4 4.0 3.3 3.3 -- 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 8 -12 7 46 (NE) 151 clear none 17:00 8 -12 12 56 (NE) 157 clear none 18:00 6 -12 10 143 (SE) 260 mstly clr none 19:00 5 -11 1 119 (ESE) 373 mstly clr none 20:00 5 -11 5 250 (WSW) 350 ptly cldy none 21:00 4 -11 7 181 (S) 345 mstly cldy none 22:00 4 -13 9 213 (SSW) 340 ptly cldy none 23:00 4 -13 4 191 (S) 360 mstly cldy none 00:00 4 -13 8 312 (NW) 210 cloudy none 01:00 5 -13 10 322 (NW) 220 cloudy none 02:00 5 -13 8 273 (W) 244 ptly cldy none 03:00 5 -13 8 265 (W) 276 clear none 04:00 5 -12 7 263 (W) 302 clear none 05:00 4 -12 8 260 (W) 326 clear none 06:00 3 -12 7 256 (WSW) 302 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
