Seeing started out a bit dodgy, but stabilized out to around 1". GPS receiver problems during the day, which Fritz worked on. He told me to reset the axis controllers, and to expect pointing issues. I did as he recommended and we had no pointing issues, thank goodness. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:44 dcamera 468( 291) -32 71 2.6 6.4 6.4 6.5 4.7 -- 1.30 21:05 dcamera 387( 60) -61 50 3.4 3.2 3.5 3.1 2.9 -- 1.18 00:11 APOLLO 462( 993) 302 56 3.5 2.5 3.2 2.4 2.3 -- 1.40 01:08 tcamera 638( 475) 55 72 3.9 2.8 3.5 2.7 3.2 -- 1.34 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 46 20 9 250 (WSW) 777 mstly clr none 17:00 43 19 7 265 (W) 769 mstly clr none 18:00 44 21 6 199 (SSW) 842 mstly clr none 19:00 40 20 2 234 (SW) 893 mstly clr none 20:00 36 18 2 124 (SE) 835 mstly clr none 21:00 37 16 1 187 (S) 803 mstly clr none 22:00 39 9 5 244 (WSW) 363 clear none 23:00 36 12 2 194 (SSW) 573 clear none 00:00 39 4 5 260 (W) 296 clear none 01:00 39 8 2 229 (SW) 550 clear none 02:00 41 2 5 259 (W) 506 clear none 03:00 40 6 11 263 (W) 520 clear none 04:00 40 6 11 268 (W) 521 clear none 05:00 39 5 5 257 (WSW) 492 clear none 06:00 39 8 6 260 (W) 628 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
