Outside optidew sensor read 100% after 01:00. It might have frozen over. I relied on 3.5 Air and 2.5 m measurements. As the night went on, it corrected itself. Colorado students: Allyssa Riley, Jack Hallowell, John Noonan, Tracey Todd, Alisha Dion, Tommy Fettig. Enjoyed good seeing that worsened over the course of the night. No other technical 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:45 dcamera 226( 81) 205 67 0.5 4.0 3.8 3.8 1.5 -- 1.38 23:03 dcamera 311( -60) 132 73 -0.7 -0.4 -0.0 -0.6 -0.8 -- 1.63 00:29 SPIcam 311( 72) -30 53 -0.8 -1.0 -0.5 -1.1 -1.1 sdssr 1.69 02:36 dcamera 333( -113) -18 74 -1.3 -1.8 -1.3 -2.0 -2.1 -- 1.93 06:30 APOLLO 350( 826) 38 30 -1.8 -2.4 -1.8 -2.5 -2.4 530nm 2.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 4 -5 20 73 (ENE) mstly clr none 17:00 3 -5 8 360 (N) ptly cldy none 18:00 3 -5 2 76 (ENE) mstly cldy none 19:00 2 -6 9 73 (ENE) mstly clr none 20:00 1 -5 9 61 (ENE) mstly clr none 21:00 0 -6 0 105 (ESE) clear none 22:00 0 -6 2 128 (SE) clear none 23:00 -1 -7 9 63 (ENE) clear none 00:00 -1 -7 1 142 (SE) clear none 01:00 -1 -8 5 182 (S) clear none 02:00 -1 -9 4 156 (SSE) clear none 03:00 -2 -9 7 110 (ESE) clear none 04:00 -1 -10 4 271 (W) clear none 05:00 -2 -11 6 165 (SSE) clear none 06:00 -1 -10 3 254 (WSW) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
