The haze helped seeing (less that .7 at times!), and was not too thick, so all the observers were able to get good data. Very good night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:35 arctic 808( 1162) 82 66 11.1 13.8 13.2 13.7 13.3 UNM657/3 0.95 18:38 arctic 791( 1139) 81 67 10.9 13.7 13.1 13.6 13.2 UNM660/3 0.88 18:41 arctic 811( 1151) 80 68 10.9 13.6 13.1 13.5 13.1 SDSS-r 0.90 18:41 arctic 811( 1151) 80 68 10.9 13.6 13.1 13.5 13.1 SDSS-r 0.90 01:26 ecamera 735( -309) -10 75 10.4 10.1 10.6 10.1 10.1 ND5 0.62 03:51 ecamera 775( -286) -150 61 9.7 9.6 10.1 9.7 9.6 ND5 0.68 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 58 32 15 253 (WSW) 1022 mstly clr none 17:00 57 32 13 267 (W) 903 mstly clr none 18:00 54 32 12 257 (WSW) 1046 mstly clr none 19:00 51 31 14 249 (WSW) 984 mstly clr none 20:00 51 30 11 263 (W) 917 mstly clr none 21:00 50 32 12 237 (WSW) 945 mstly clr none 22:00 51 32 15 244 (WSW) 1017 mstly clr none 23:00 52 32 12 259 (W) 898 mstly clr none 00:00 51 31 9 264 (W) 877 mstly clr none 01:00 51 30 11 261 (W) 897 mstly clr none 02:00 50 30 12 260 (W) 806 mstly clr none 03:00 50 29 16 266 (W) 744 mstly clr none 04:00 49 29 9 258 (WSW) 789 mstly clr none 05:00 49 29 11 268 (W) 646 mstly clr none 06:00 48 30 13 279 (W) 606 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
