The only problem we encountered was with the internet (Fritz sent an email) and I lost my GS04 observer. However, Fritz quickly fixed the problem and I was able to continue my observers exposures and target until he was able to log back on. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:42 APOLLO 700( 1409) 65 59 4.7 6.0 6.2 5.6 5.9 530 1.40 18:59 ecamera 851( -466) -7 80 4.7 4.7 5.2 4.5 4.5 -- 0.85 00:15 dcamera 711( 413) -31 70 5.0 4.1 4.6 4.2 4.4 -- 1.24 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 46 5 13 265 (W) ptly cldy none 17:00 43 5 12 284 (WNW) mstly clr none 18:00 40 6 13 271 (W) clear none 19:00 40 8 9 256 (WSW) clear none 20:00 39 7 9 254 (WSW) clear none 21:00 39 6 15 225 (SW) clear none 22:00 39 2 10 254 (WSW) clear none 23:00 40 4 11 236 (SW) clear none 00:00 41 5 8 254 (WSW) clear none 01:00 41 4 12 271 (W) clear none 02:00 40 5 13 292 (WNW) clear none 03:00 39 7 14 308 (NW) mstly clr none 04:00 40 11 12 293 (WNW) mstly clr none 05:00 39 10 8 286 (WNW) clear none 06:00 39 8 14 293 (WNW) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
