Winds turned south toward the end of the night allwoing better seeing. Fritz changed the scaling software for the guiders. This improved the performance of the NA2 guider, but further adjustment is still needed. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:05 ecamera 642( 217) -100 37 20.4 21.7 22.4 21.3 20.8 clear 1.78 00:15 arctic 517( 1154) -17 66 20.2 19.4 20.0 19.4 19.4 SDSS-r 1.52 02:20 arctic 442( 1066) 68 22 18.3 18.5 19.1 18.5 18.4 SDSS-z 2.34 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 85 36 15 246 (WSW) 531 clear none 17:00 83 34 13 268 (W) 467 clear none 18:00 76 30 6 354 (N) 451 clear none 19:00 79 31 5 278 (W) 479 clear none 20:00 72 26 7 92 (E) 737 clear none 21:00 69 26 19 83 (E) 1157 clear none 22:00 69 24 19 81 (E) 1038 clear none 23:00 67 22 18 76 (ENE) 934 clear none 00:00 67 23 20 72 (ENE) 905 clear none 01:00 66 24 20 76 (ENE) 926 clear none 02:00 65 25 14 87 (E) 1087 clear none 03:00 65 25 9 92 (E) 955 clear none 04:00 64 25 11 142 (SE) 997 clear none 05:00 63 33 11 175 (S) 1028 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
