Seeing never got below a subarcsecond but it was below 2". NM05 had issues with their guide images not downloading and they were logged in with MacOSX 10.12.4. However, UW06 used the same MacOSX and had no problems. ARCSAT had issues with flats which Jack and Bill assisted with, but one of the dome motors had a major issue tonight and may have derailed and we couldn't observe for the rest of the night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:30 dcamera 527( 734) 273 66 9.2 10.0 10.6 9.7 9.6 -- 1.44 00:28 arctic 610( 890) 252 51 8.6 8.3 9.0 8.4 8.4 JC-V 1.16 02:53 arctic 603( 824) 276 49 7.1 7.1 7.7 7.1 7.2 JC-R 1.72 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 60 30 12 253 (WSW) 661 clear none 17:00 59 28 11 267 (W) 672 clear none 18:00 59 31 11 273 (W) 647 clear none 19:00 59 31 6 262 (W) 451 clear none 20:00 52 31 4 278 (W) 493 clear none 21:00 50 31 8 314 (NW) 637 clear none 22:00 49 32 5 264 (W) 1107 clear none 23:00 48 32 5 261 (W) 800 clear none 00:00 47 32 5 263 (W) 687 clear none 01:00 49 28 6 341 (NNW) 848 clear none 02:00 45 33 7 275 (W) 653 clear none 03:00 45 32 7 274 (W) 707 clear none 04:00 45 31 9 311 (NW) 584 clear none 05:00 45 30 9 304 (NW) 627 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
