Though, I wish the seeing could have been just as nice. The wind kept things pretty fuzzy all night WY02 finished their target early and donated 50min of their time to JH01 who logged in early and was able to use the full time. The 3.5 inside weather sensors went down (I'm guessing not updating) and I emailed Ed. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:46 tcamera 561( 925) -20 77 7.4 9.2 9.2 9.1 7.8 -- 1.21 21:25 tcamera 497( 779) -41 41 7.0 619.0 619.0 619.0 619.0 -- 1.92 23:29 tcamera 455( 715) -81 77 6.6 622.0 622.0 622.0 622.0 -- 1.92 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 49 31 8 283 (WNW) 855 mstly clr none 17:00 48 31 14 301 (WNW) 849 clear none 18:00 48 26 12 311 (NW) 933 clear none 19:00 45 26 12 308 (NW) 1573 clear none 20:00 45 26 5 359 (N) 2122 clear none 21:00 45 22 14 360 (N) 2084 clear none 22:00 45 19 9 0 (N) 1824 clear none 23:00 44 16 18 7 (N) 1221 clear none 00:00 43 12 12 33 (NNE) 1005 clear none 01:00 44 8 10 8 (N) 818 clear none 02:00 43 5 12 37 (NE) 677 clear none 03:00 43 1 6 11 (N) 433 clear none 04:00 42 -1 11 2 (N) 155 clear none 05:00 42 -2 20 38 (NE) 148 clear none 06:00 44 0 20 45 (NE) 73 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
