We had some rain nearby at the start of the night so I opted to keep the telescope closed until the threat of rain subsided. Clear the remainder of the night with no TSPEC 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:45 tcamera 200( 906) -44 63 12.4 16.8 17.4 16.2 13.5 Ks 1.90 22:45 tcamera 175( 737) -64 53 10.7 13.7 14.2 13.3 11.3 Ks 3.00 23:52 tcamera 200( 696) -55 53 13.6 12.5 12.8 12.1 13.0 Ks 1.20 01:07 tcamera 420( 940) -72 40 12.6 12.6 13.1 12.6 12.5 Ks 1.10 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 64 37 18 201 (SSW) 645 cloudy lt rain 17:00 71 31 20 241 (WSW) 657 mstly cldy none 18:00 69 29 17 255 (WSW) 588 mstly cldy none 19:00 64 28 14 272 (W) 604 mstly cldy none 20:00 60 32 5 3 (N) 1407 ptly cldy none 21:00 63 25 13 206 (SSW) 1252 mstly clr none 22:00 53 40 12 63 (ENE) 595 clear none 23:00 51 41 12 82 (E) 678 clear none 00:00 57 35 5 183 (S) 1029 clear none 01:00 55 37 7 244 (WSW) 1009 clear none 02:00 54 38 1 196 (SSW) 1234 clear none 03:00 56 37 9 147 (SSE) 984 clear none 04:00 53 41 11 136 (SE) 904 clear none 05:00 53 43 11 180 (S) 820 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
