I started a bunch of images to see if they will clear the problem. Some did, image 430, most did not. Will cancel when the 2nd observer needs the instrument (if it has fixed itself). I did not restart the leach controller. Lots of clouds tonight at the beginning of the night. They started to thin around the end of the first program, but no time left of their observations. It was nice and clear after around 01:00. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:04 SPIcam 193( 780) 51 52 13.2 15.2 15.2 14.9 13.8 sdss r 1.00 21:05 NA2gdr 549(30549) 51 53 13.1 15.1 15.2 14.9 13.7 clear 1.20 23:11 APOLLO 250( 1554) 4 35 14.3 14.0 14.4 13.9 13.8 530nm 1.20 01:19 SPIcam 353( 851) -11 67 14.1 13.7 14.2 13.7 13.6 UW W 0.63 01:20 NA2gdr 73(30073) -11 67 14.2 13.7 14.2 13.6 13.6 clear 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 40 12 264 (W) 718 cloudy none 17:00 62 37 7 264 (W) 691 cloudy none 18:00 61 35 12 267 (W) 726 cloudy none 19:00 59 37 3 254 (WSW) 657 cloudy none 20:00 57 38 5 347 (NNW) 1186 mstly clr none 21:00 57 38 4 304 (NW) 828 ptly cldy none 22:00 56 39 7 250 (WSW) 746 ptly cldy none 23:00 58 38 6 255 (WSW) 759 ptly cldy none 00:00 57 38 6 205 (SSW) 800 mstly clr none 01:00 57 37 6 263 (W) 843 clear none 02:00 57 38 8 234 (SW) 833 clear none 03:00 57 37 7 219 (SW) 783 clear none 04:00 56 33 11 185 (S) 454 clear none 05:00 56 34 9 184 (S) 473 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
