We (Russet and I) took a new slit mask file and also adjusted pointing for the NA1 port. We had an az drive issue that at 00:20. An errant Kimwipe got jammed in one of the drives and caused us to see tracking errors. It took about 30 mins to remove the Kimwipe and the drive seemed fine afterwards. No problems afterwards and everything ran smoothly ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GS05 E T/H 00:20 00:50 Az drive error ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:22 ecamera 383( 29) 3 60 14.5 15.6 16.1 15.1 14.7 ND3 0.72 21:32 ecamera 234( -202) -1 56 14.0 13.9 14.7 13.7 13.9 ND4 0.80 00:16 NICFPS 350( 1238) 231 40 13.9 13.2 13.9 13.1 13.4 H2-2,12 0.77 02:45 arctic 338( 852) 88 49 14.0 12.9 13.4 12.5 13.7 SDSS_u+ND1.3 1.86 02:50 arctic 372( 884) 87 50 14.2 12.8 13.4 12.5 13.6 SDSS_z+ND4 1.30 02:56 arctic 389( 900) 86 52 14.0 12.8 13.4 12.5 13.4 SDSS_u+ND1.3 1.50 04:17 arctic 350( 831) 69 69 13.8 12.4 13.1 12.5 13.2 SDSS_u+ND1.3 1.10 05:03 arctic 358( 828) 46 77 13.6 12.3 12.9 12.4 13.1 SDSS_u+ND1.3 1.10 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 68 40 12 246 (WSW) clear none 17:00 67 35 10 224 (SW) clear none 18:00 66 32 2 198 (SSW) clear none 19:00 60 33 11 125 (SE) clear none 20:00 58 32 16 135 (SE) clear none 21:00 58 29 15 136 (SE) clear none 22:00 57 33 13 134 (SE) clear none 23:00 57 32 11 134 (SE) clear none 00:00 57 29 11 138 (SE) clear none 01:00 56 29 1 146 (SE) clear none 02:00 58 31 6 199 (SSW) clear none 03:00 58 31 3 223 (SW) clear none 04:00 57 31 1 222 (SW) clear none 05:00 57 32 1 239 (WSW) clear none 06:00 57 32 1 306 (NW) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
