Observing was very peaceful and problem-free. The first half program got lots of data using the coronographic wedge on NICFPS, which went quite well. ARCSAT, after having a fuse replaced during the day, needed a reboot and then it worked well through 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:04 NICFPS 687( 1878) -95 30 17.8 18.9 19.4 18.7 18.3 H 1.12 01:19 ecamera 410( 80) -45 40 15.6 15.7 16.4 15.6 15.6 Clear 1.65 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 71 32 21 262 (W) 1028 mstly clr none 17:00 74 33 27 245 (WSW) 947 mstly clr none 18:00 71 31 27 243 (WSW) 885 mstly clr none 19:00 68 30 16 245 (WSW) 832 mstly clr none 20:00 67 27 22 257 (WSW) 908 mstly clr none 21:00 64 27 15 264 (W) 954 clear none 22:00 64 21 16 269 (W) 798 mstly clr none 23:00 62 19 10 268 (W) 795 mstly clr none 00:00 62 18 15 270 (W) 754 mstly clr none 01:00 60 16 11 265 (W) 843 clear none 02:00 59 17 11 272 (W) 972 mstly clr none 03:00 58 13 19 269 (W) 665 mstly clr none 04:00 57 13 12 258 (WSW) 809 mstly clr none 05:00 56 13 11 274 (W) 728 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
