While trying to fix it, he ended up restarting the ICC during cals. Luckily no time was lost, and it all came back ok. The night was mostly clear, with good seeing. No other problems to report, everything ran smoothly. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:03 dcamera 450( 328) 130 72 2.2 4.5 4.8 4.4 2.6 -- 1.30 20:08 dcamera 419( 201) 178 60 1.3 2.5 2.9 2.0 1.5 -- 1.50 02:16 ecamera 400( -957) 174 76 2.1 0.9 1.3 1.3 1.8 ND1 0.82 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 43 23 2 350 (N) 1223 mstly clr none 17:00 40 20 1 244 (WSW) 1369 ptly cldy none 18:00 42 21 3 41 (NE) 1171 mstly clr none 19:00 39 20 13 70 (ENE) 906 clear none 20:00 36 20 14 76 (ENE) 971 clear none 21:00 35 20 15 75 (ENE) 893 clear none 22:00 34 21 16 68 (ENE) 1015 clear none 23:00 33 21 16 68 (ENE) 902 clear none 00:00 33 21 13 66 (ENE) 928 clear none 01:00 31 21 6 347 (NNW) 1122 clear none 02:00 35 19 2 345 (NNW) 1177 clear none 03:00 35 19 6 349 (N) 1062 clear none 04:00 34 20 8 25 (NNE) 1170 clear none 05:00 34 20 9 359 (N) 1034 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
