The CU03 observers target went below 3 airmass around 22:55 so they donated their remaining hour to the next program. I noticed that the 3.5m optidew sensors re-calibrated on at least 3 occasions tonight (Outside humidity went to 100%). I thought they were only supposed to re-calibrate once per 24hrs. We also had no outside temps or dewpoint from the old sensors (we lost them a few days ago and I have been relying on the optidew sensors). ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:16 NICFPS 916( 1286) -84 64 4.8 7.3 8.9 6.9 6.6 Ks 0.71 19:18 NA2gdr 5120(48120) -85 64 4.8 7.3 8.8 6.8 6.6 clear 1.10 19:44 NICFPS 713( 1047) -89 58 4.8 6.4 7.5 5.9 5.9 Ks 0.61 19:47 NA2gdr 2434(45434) -89 58 4.8 6.4 7.5 5.9 5.9 clear 1.16 23:05 ecamera 793( -518) -32 54 4.8 4.6 5.3 4.7 4.8 ND3 0.91 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 12 327 (NNW) mstly cldy humid 17:00 4 336 (NNW) ptly cldy humid 18:00 6 283 (WNW) clear humid 19:00 7 347 (NNW) clear none 20:00 9 22 (NNE) clear none 21:00 10 2 (N) clear none 22:00 19 18 (NNE) clear none 23:00 12 358 (N) clear none 00:00 9 25 (NNE) clear none 01:00 12 4 (N) clear none 02:00 25 27 (NNE) clear none 03:00 19 12 (NNE) clear none 04:00 21 16 (NNE) clear none 05:00 17 29 (NNE) clear none 06:00 17 8 (N) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
