Bill leveled the drive disk in increments, and I got short pointing models to confirm the direction. I wasn't able to get a full-sized pointing model because the wind, humidity, and rain threat all spiked and then remained high. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 68 46 7 331 (NNW) mstly cldy none 17:00 71 43 4 180 (S) mstly cldy none 18:00 70 46 2 209 (SSW) ptly cldy none 19:00 68 45 3 69 (ENE) ptly cldy none 20:00 67 43 7 109 (ESE) mstly clr none 21:00 64 44 12 91 (E) clear none 22:00 63 47 12 84 (E) mstly clr none 23:00 63 46 16 109 (ESE) mstly clr none 00:00 57 50 22 74 (ENE) ptly cldy none 01:00 55 53 29 82 (E) mstly cldy lt rain 02:00 53 52 20 89 (E) mstly cldy none 03:00 53 51 15 77 (ENE) mstly cldy lt rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
