We did, however, run into human error. CU07 was taking dome cals during twilight and I was having problems with the DIS slit wheel. I changed out wheels and, while the wheel moved in TUI, I wasn't able to get it to home. After talking with Russet the problem was resolved and I was using the wrong command. I'm marked this as time lost in software (since H doesn't stand for Human). I've updated the wiki so this will be clearer in the future. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:41 dcamera 793( 650) 97 23 5.9 6.4 6.4 6.5 6.4 -- 1.92 00:08 dcamera 759( 489) 29 67 4.4 4.5 5.1 4.5 4.5 -- 1.15 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 43 16 7 304 (NW) 352 clear none 17:00 47 16 16 309 (NW) 394 clear none 18:00 45 15 12 284 (WNW) 360 clear none 19:00 44 16 12 319 (NW) 392 clear none 20:00 43 15 15 349 (N) 363 clear none 21:00 43 16 10 3 (N) 400 clear none 22:00 43 17 11 336 (NNW) 421 clear none 23:00 39 17 1 52 (NE) 385 clear none 00:00 39 17 7 315 (NW) 374 clear none 01:00 41 17 8 268 (W) 537 clear none 02:00 40 17 9 264 (W) 578 clear none 03:00 41 18 11 269 (W) 619 clear none 04:00 40 18 10 277 (W) 507 clear none 05:00 40 18 3 289 (WNW) 408 clear none 06:00 41 17 7 267 (W) 395 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
