One image streak on left the next streak on right (similiar to what we have seen before on dcam when there was a shutter issue). It seemed to come and go. The vertical bands also re-appeared (3s exp times). ------- 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 418( 761) 10 57 10.8 12.5 12.7 12.3 11.1 -- 0.94 18:18 ecamera 314( -257) 132 53 10.9 11.2 11.8 10.9 10.5 ND3 0.87 00:12 ecamera 240( -472) 204 57 8.9 8.6 9.2 8.6 8.7 clear 1.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 57 13 16 233 (SW) 265 clear none 17:00 52 15 13 238 (WSW) 331 clear none 18:00 51 14 18 240 (WSW) 300 clear none 19:00 51 15 19 261 (W) 400 clear none 20:00 51 16 17 264 (W) 484 clear none 21:00 51 16 19 255 (WSW) 622 clear none 22:00 50 17 19 235 (SW) 781 clear none 23:00 49 17 23 226 (SW) 1030 clear none 00:00 48 18 28 221 (SW) 1116 clear none 01:00 46 18 19 244 (WSW) 901 clear none 02:00 47 17 20 245 (WSW) 668 clear none 03:00 47 17 19 236 (SW) 574 ptly cldy none 04:00 45 19 20 250 (WSW) 675 ptly cldy none 05:00 45 21 28 254 (WSW) 1100 ptly cldy none 06:00 43 23 28 267 (W) 1078 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
