Overall productive. The problem with slit masks not changing with the slits is still present on dcam. I saw it during second half, the users were frequently switching between 0.9" and 5.0" slits. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:04 dcamera 364( 530) 131 73 6.2 10.1 9.4 10.3 7.0 -- 1.70 20:06 dcamera 207( 269) 173 80 6.8 8.1 7.7 7.4 6.7 -- 1.20 00:20 APOLLO 225( 1075) 283 46 6.4 5.5 6.0 5.1 5.3 -- 1.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 27 8 222 (SW) 800 mstly clr none 17:00 50 26 13 229 (SW) 688 mstly clr none 18:00 52 25 4 221 (SW) 763 clear none 19:00 49 24 8 234 (SW) 774 clear none 20:00 44 23 8 228 (SW) 761 clear none 21:00 44 21 2 175 (S) 803 clear none 22:00 45 21 1 253 (WSW) 829 clear none 23:00 45 21 6 188 (S) 827 clear none 00:00 43 20 7 187 (S) 727 clear none 01:00 44 17 4 188 (S) 766 clear none 02:00 43 14 6 212 (SSW) 748 clear none 03:00 42 14 8 222 (SW) 881 clear none 04:00 43 11 4 260 (W) 888 clear none 05:00 41 11 5 263 (W) 845 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
