We had somewhat poor seeing in the evening with wind in the east, and somewhat good seeing second half with wind in the southwest, but overall the night was very even-keeled, and it was all planets all the time (inside the Solar System and out). ------- 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 arctic 750( 530) 89 55 -0.4 2.5 2.0 2.7 1.0 r 1.41 00:30 NICFPS 744( 777) 69 16 0.3 -0.1 0.6 -0.3 0.0 Ks 1.02 01:26 dcamera 738( 217) 81 67 1.0 -0.3 0.3 -0.6 -0.1 - 1.25 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 34 9 5 233 (SW) clear none 17:00 33 9 2 301 (WNW) clear none 18:00 29 4 4 5 (N) clear none 19:00 30 4 5 27 (NNE) clear none 20:00 31 4 11 25 (NNE) clear none 21:00 35 6 5 84 (E) clear none 22:00 36 6 2 199 (SSW) clear none 23:00 34 7 6 170 (S) clear none 00:00 34 6 4 187 (S) clear none 01:00 34 6 1 234 (SW) clear none 02:00 33 5 6 332 (NNW) clear none 03:00 30 2 8 318 (NW) clear none 04:00 31 3 10 328 (NNW) clear none 05:00 31 2 12 330 (NNW) clear none 06:00 31 1 10 359 (N) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
