We were very productive! Since CU05 did their science yesterday in the CU05/CU06 slot, CU06 took all of today. The last few days, we've had many many issues with users not being able to see slitviewer images anymore. It starts out normal, and after a given time it stops updating. It requires a TUI restart to fix it. In most cases it was a continual problem for the entire shift. Tonight we opted for me running the guider instead of the user. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:53 ecamera 752( -706) 212 40 0.8 1.5 1.3 1.6 1.2 ND3 0.90 18:39 ecamera 659( -835) 50 36 0.2 0.7 0.9 0.6 0.2 ND2 1.60 19:11 dcamera 527( 58) 42 41 0.1 0.3 0.6 0.2 0.0 -- 1.60 00:21 APOLLO 452( 874) 78 44 -0.2 0.2 0.7 0.3 0.0 -- 1.70 00:59 ecamera 539( -982) -9 49 1.9 0.4 0.8 0.5 0.8 ND1 0.90 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 35 16 6 9 (N) 182 clear none 17:00 35 14 11 39 (NE) 219 clear none 18:00 33 9 7 358 (N) 187 clear none 19:00 33 10 15 21 (NNE) 134 clear none 20:00 32 9 23 33 (NNE) 110 clear none 21:00 35 14 14 27 (NNE) 40 clear none 22:00 34 14 18 32 (NNE) 28 clear none 23:00 33 15 21 24 (NNE) 33 clear none 00:00 33 14 18 48 (NE) 43 clear none 01:00 36 15 18 55 (NE) 34 clear none 02:00 35 14 11 83 (E) 16 clear none 03:00 35 12 7 89 (E) 17 clear none 04:00 37 9 1 290 (WNW) 25 clear none 05:00 36 13 7 208 (SSW) 13 clear none 06:00 36 14 4 227 (SW) 20 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
