We switched to SPIcam. 3.5m enclosure is reporting closed on the weather page, even though we were open. No problems 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:12 dcamera 324( -581) 141 60 -10.6 -8.0 -6.9 -8.0 -9.2 -- 1.40 19:42 SPIcam 573( -292) 64 66 -10.4 -10.1 -9.9 -10.0 -10.5 B 1.10 00:20 ecamera 664(-1457) 28 45 -10.7 -11.4 -10.9 -11.3 -11.3 ND1 1.90 05:51 APOLLO 514( 453) 42 30 -7.8 -9.6 -9.1 -9.1 -9.0 -- 1.70 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 15 -4 14 325 (NW) clear none 17:00 14 -6 10 282 (WNW) clear none 18:00 13 -5 6 1 (N) clear none 19:00 13 -5 8 27 (NNE) clear none 20:00 13 -4 9 346 (NNW) clear none 21:00 13 -4 20 4 (N) clear none 22:00 13 -3 23 8 (N) clear none 23:00 13 -3 23 14 (NNE) clear none 00:00 12 -5 29 22 (NNE) clear none 01:00 15 -23 21 28 (NNE) clear none 02:00 14 -34 2 75 (ENE) clear none 03:00 15 -33 6 294 (WNW) clear none 04:00 14 -33 6 353 (N) clear none 05:00 17 -32 10 355 (N) clear none 06:00 18 -31 6 353 (N) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
