They ceded the time to WY03, but they could only use limited amount as their targets required 30 mins exposure and we were approaching 12deg twilight. They finally got the comoputer communicating, then things broke on them again. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:31 dcamera 525( 829) 72 79 10.7 12.0 12.0 11.8 10.9 -- 0.83 18:24 tcamera 586( 1044) 113 70 10.8 11.0 11.5 10.9 10.7 Ks 0.86 00:22 dcamera 418( 602) -43 53 9.0 9.4 9.9 9.8 9.7 -- 1.54 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 54 27 19 271 (W) 340 mstly clr none 17:00 52 27 17 260 (W) 368 mstly clr none 18:00 52 24 23 247 (WSW) 384 mstly clr none 19:00 51 21 22 250 (WSW) 378 clear none 20:00 50 21 20 286 (WNW) 361 clear none 21:00 50 20 14 281 (W) 303 mstly clr none 22:00 50 18 18 310 (NW) 278 mstly clr none 23:00 49 19 16 312 (NW) 258 clear none 00:00 50 18 17 335 (NNW) 413 clear none 01:00 50 14 7 344 (NNW) 535 clear none 02:00 49 11 18 341 (NNW) 1097 clear none 03:00 49 10 12 328 (NNW) 726 mstly clr none 04:00 50 9 8 32 (NNE) 933 clear none 05:00 50 10 12 52 (NE) 884 clear none 06:00 45 9 23 68 (ENE) 1204 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
