It eventually showed closed several minutes after I had closed. Don was (again) having problems with his TUI (2.4.0) not updating the echelle slitviewer images on his computer. Things were working fine on our end. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:12 ecamera 611( -51) 46 69 15.4 17.4 16.8 17.6 16.4 ND4 0.71 22:17 ecamera 434( -309) 180 66 15.3 15.8 15.9 15.9 15.3 ND3 0.90 00:15 SPIcam 504( 920) 279 47 14.6 14.6 15.1 14.6 14.4 sdss r 0.84 02:19 ecamera 444( -418) 33 63 13.6 13.4 14.0 13.4 13.2 ND4 0.79 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 67 41 6 260 (W) 578 ptly cldy none 17:00 66 41 8 210 (SSW) 623 ptly cldy none 18:00 63 40 8 250 (WSW) 579 ptly cldy none 19:00 61 40 10 204 (SSW) 572 ptly cldy none 20:00 60 38 10 190 (S) 655 mstly cldy none 21:00 60 37 10 215 (SW) 631 cloudy none 22:00 60 36 14 194 (SSW) 711 ptly cldy none 23:00 59 38 9 191 (S) 828 clear none 00:00 58 38 14 196 (SSW) 602 clear none 01:00 58 39 11 187 (S) 523 clear none 02:00 56 37 18 201 (SSW) 488 ptly cldy none 03:00 55 37 15 188 (S) 442 ptly cldy none 04:00 55 37 13 203 (SSW) 439 mstly clr none 05:00 55 34 11 223 (SW) 401 mstly clr none 06:00 55 33 13 184 (S) 462 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
