We did-- More dcam tests, see Russet's emails. Additional TCC tests for Russell, all is well. Agile guider is working well. New slit masks for DIS. 100 point pointing model, did not implement. DIS throughput, with cals. Tspec is still unhappy. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:26 guider 136( 870) 104 72 16.4 18.4 18.3 18.2 16.6 R 0.90 1:08 dcamera 280( 761) 140 66 16.1 16.2 16.7 15.9 15.7 -- 1.22 21:32 guider 178( 810) 232 49 16.4 16.0 16.4 15.6 15.8 R 0.80 00:23 dcamera 260( 707) -51 58 16.1 15.5 16.0 15.6 15.9 -- 1.13 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 73 26 17 188 (S) 625 clear none 17:00 74 26 23 238 (WSW) 586 clear none 18:00 72 21 22 210 (SSW) 528 clear none 19:00 67 17 16 205 (SSW) 516 clear none 20:00 63 13 21 216 (SW) 482 clear none 21:00 61 11 16 209 (SSW) 452 clear none 22:00 61 9 14 216 (SW) 484 clear none 23:00 61 9 8 230 (SW) 493 clear none 00:00 62 8 10 253 (WSW) 520 clear none 01:00 60 8 11 260 (W) 595 clear none 02:00 60 8 10 221 (SW) 481 clear none 03:00 56 9 10 251 (WSW) 635 clear none 04:00 59 7 10 277 (W) 459 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
