With bright targets we were able to push until the storms got threatening, and we closed. They cleared up after a few hours, and we were able to open again. Things went smoothly after that until humidity rose sharply toward morning. We closed, and stayed closed, for the last few hours of the night. We called it at 05:40. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:56 ecamera 561(-1022) -44 67 -3.4 -0.6 -1.2 -1.1 -2.1 ND2 0.90 23:15 arctic 596( 74) 116 81 -2.4 -3.7 -3.3 -3.6 -3.7 SDSS_r 1.40 Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
