Ecam needed a hub startNubs for some reason but then worked fine. Tspec was not working again tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:00 dcamera 514( 102) 29 48 -0.1 1.6 2.5 1.7 0.4 -- 1.52 19:32 dcamera 573( 96) -48 38 -0.2 0.1 0.8 0.0 -0.1 -- 1.26 23:15 dcamera 706( 185) 13 53 1.1 -0.5 0.1 -0.6 -0.2 -- 1.36 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 33 20 1 269 (W) 258 mstly clr none 17:00 32 21 8 315 (NW) 282 clear none 18:00 32 21 16 349 (N) 245 clear none 19:00 32 23 9 35 (NE) 260 clear none 20:00 32 23 12 358 (N) clear none 21:00 32 24 8 351 (N) 237 clear none 22:00 32 24 20 12 (NNE) 279 clear none 23:00 33 19 8 44 (NE) 178 clear none 00:00 35 15 2 192 (SSW) clear none 01:00 34 14 1 217 (SW) 127 clear none 02:00 32 18 5 170 (S) 139 clear none 03:00 33 19 10 156 (SSE) 144 clear none 04:00 32 18 7 182 (S) clear none 05:00 35 13 7 189 (S) 98 clear none 06:00 32 13 7 177 (S) 118 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
