Zero'ed NA2 rotator (-0.084 degreees) ARCTIC did not want to recognize wheel 7, kept thinking it was wheel 3. I fudged it by putting wheel 7 filter list into the fw3.txt file. Russet used ARCTIC to do some fringing flats We then switched to the Shack-Hartmann to check/adjust collimation 100 point pointing model to round out 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:58 dcamera 644( 797) 223 28 8.2 12.3 12.3 12.1 11.2 -- 1.90 20:12 dcamera 690( 770) 201 79 8.1 11.4 11.6 11.3 10.6 -- 1.20 20:38 dcamera 704( 720) 68 73 7.5 10.2 10.5 9.9 9.2 -- 1.25 21:26 arctic 687( 812) 24 73 9.1 9.4 9.6 9.0 9.1 sdss_r 0.93 21:30 NA2gdr 4354(38354) 20 74 9.4 9.4 9.7 8.9 9.0 clear 1.25 00:42 NA2gdr 4354(38354) 68 55 9.5 8.4 9.0 8.2 8.3 clear 1.25 02:26 guider 819( 891) -25 65 9.9 8.3 9.0 8.1 8.3 clear 1.14 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 53 27 2 258 (WSW) 651 clear none 17:00 58 27 10 262 (W) 641 clear none 18:00 58 25 2 255 (WSW) 630 clear none 19:00 56 25 7 261 (W) 645 clear none 20:00 50 24 3 186 (S) 640 clear none 21:00 47 27 8 90 (E) 447 clear none 22:00 46 26 6 90 (E) 504 clear none 23:00 49 24 2 233 (SW) 693 clear none 00:00 48 23 3 285 (WNW) 853 clear none 01:00 48 21 6 341 (NNW) 756 clear none 02:00 50 20 1 322 (NW) 748 clear none 03:00 49 20 1 195 (SSW) 778 clear none 04:00 50 24 3 279 (W) 844 clear none 05:00 50 24 2 194 (SSW) 800 clear none 06:00 47 21 6 191 (S) 724 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
