Clear, calm, great seeing, and no moth issues! There was a hiccup with DIS taking every image as if it were a dark. Russet and I work on this for a time thinking that the shutter was perhaps stuck, but everything checked out. In the end, a dis init and home solved the problem. UW05 ended at 12deg twilight and I took the opportunity of grabbing a few Venus exposures with the 50min that was left before dawn. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UV03 D I/S 20:17 20:43 DIS needed init and home ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:37 dcamera 390( 1194) 209 81 20.6 21.8 22.1 21.4 21.1 -- 1.05 00:23 ecamera 392( 207) 327 43 19.5 18.7 19.4 18.3 18.6 clear 0.99 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 83 34 3 241 (WSW) 512 clear none 17:00 76 32 14 280 (W) 468 clear none 18:00 77 34 12 267 (W) 438 clear none 19:00 74 31 13 302 (WNW) 399 clear none 20:00 71 27 10 269 (W) 486 clear none 21:00 70 25 10 259 (W) 531 clear none 22:00 68 24 9 264 (W) 527 clear none 23:00 68 24 6 263 (W) 570 clear none 00:00 68 23 7 317 (NW) 656 clear none 01:00 68 23 8 272 (W) 687 clear none 02:00 67 24 8 298 (WNW) 808 clear none 03:00 68 24 6 306 (NW) 756 clear none 04:00 66 22 12 322 (NW) 943 clear none 05:00 66 22 10 312 (NW) 790 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
