The system caused some clouds, but it fell apart around 0100, yielding clear skies. Failure of DIS slitviewer at about 04:22, causing cancellation of UW05 program. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UW05 D I/H 04:20 06:19 DIS slitviewer reading all zeros. ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:38 tcamera 772( 1352) 30 31 14.5 16.7 16.7 16.7 16.1 clear 1.27 01:19 tcamera 672( 996) -71 70 13.1 12.3 12.9 12.3 12.6 r 0.84 03:35 ecamera 810( -99) 352 71 12.7 12.7 13.3 13.0 12.8 ND1 0.99 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 61 47 7 267 (W) 1099 clear none 17:00 67 50 1 198 (SSW) 959 clear none 18:00 65 47 1 224 (SW) 935 clear none 19:00 61 44 2 240 (WSW) 935 clear none 20:00 59 44 1 185 (S) 1224 clear none 21:00 58 35 10 147 (SSE) 1307 mstly clr none 22:00 56 34 14 118 (ESE) 1471 ptly cldy none 23:00 55 34 11 85 (E) 1546 ptly cldy none 00:00 54 36 10 85 (E) 1413 ptly cldy none 01:00 55 34 9 86 (E) 1321 mstly clr none 02:00 55 35 11 84 (E) 1288 clear none 03:00 56 36 8 32 (NNE) 1367 clear none 04:00 56 35 3 354 (N) 1378 clear none 05:00 55 35 3 0 (N) 1382 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
