A few hours later, I ran a 1000-count dark script, and found not one corrupted image for every 20 taken. Nothing changed between corrupted and non-corrupted. Opened after clouds cleared and storm moved through, but right before instrument change, we had to close due to rader. Conditions never improved. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:07 SPIcam 250( 902) 14 55 16.9 16.5 17.0 16.2 16.3 SDSS-r 0.70 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 58 42 15 124 (SE) 341 ptly cldy rain 17:00 65 44 11 186 (S) 468 mstly cldy none 18:00 67 43 9 189 (S) 452 ptly cldy none 19:00 66 41 4 187 (S) 480 ptly cldy none 20:00 63 39 4 186 (S) 501 mstly cldy none 21:00 56 43 31 72 (ENE) 375 cloudy none 22:00 50 45 28 68 (ENE) 378 cloudy none 23:00 62 34 12 58 (ENE) 340 cloudy none 00:00 63 37 10 266 (W) 510 mstly cldy none 01:00 62 36 8 250 (WSW) 516 mstly cldy none 02:00 63 36 3 194 (SSW) 541 cloudy lt rain 03:00 63 37 6 229 (SW) 517 mstly cldy none 04:00 61 37 8 252 (WSW) 521 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
