We had clouds, rain, lots of wind, even some lightning. And those damn moths are officially back and crowding the control room >:[ As a plus, while we were closed, I had lots of time to update the wiki. Gorey details were added to the pointing model section of engineering tasks. No problems tonight. The echelle performed beautifully! ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 21 27 195 (SSW) 1704 mstly clr none 17:00 63 19 18 199 (SSW) 1723 ptly cldy none 18:00 59 18 12 137 (SE) 1778 ptly cldy none 19:00 57 18 15 134 (SE) 1646 mstly clr none 20:00 55 17 15 129 (SE) 1715 clear none 21:00 52 40 17 120 (ESE) 2686 clear none 22:00 52 39 19 103 (ESE) 4030 mstly clr none 23:00 52 35 24 122 (ESE) 4515 mstly cldy none 00:00 50 37 23 123 (ESE) 3817 mstly cldy lt rain 01:00 48 34 25 140 (SE) 3272 cloudy lt rain 02:00 46 39 24 135 (SE) 1741 mstly clr humid 03:00 46 42 22 144 (SE) clear humid 04:00 46 42 12 149 (SSE) clear humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
