Zeroed the NA2 rotator. Ran tests of na2tilts, DIS contamination, adjusted DIS focus. Collimated telescope, ran and implemented a pointing model and knocked out another inst block for single quad mode on arctic. Weather and seeing were good and we were open all 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:57 shack 600( 1089) 237 62 5.7 4.7 5.2 4.5 5.0 - 1.00 04:15 arctic 522( 643) 333 54 5.8 5.2 5.8 5.3 5.5 J-C_R 0.85 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 48 3 11 225 (SW) 121 mstly clr none 17:00 45 -1 6 193 (SSW) 73 mstly clr none 18:00 43 -2 4 243 (WSW) 82 mstly clr none 19:00 42 -4 7 256 (WSW) 45 mstly clr none 20:00 43 -1 6 232 (SW) 43 mstly clr none 21:00 40 -5 9 222 (SW) 109 mstly clr none 22:00 43 -4 9 261 (W) 85 mstly clr none 23:00 42 -3 7 257 (WSW) 62 mstly clr none 00:00 41 -4 9 260 (W) 98 mstly clr none 01:00 41 -3 6 269 (W) 186 mstly clr none 02:00 43 -1 12 264 (W) 69 mstly clr none 03:00 43 -1 8 264 (W) 69 mstly clr none 04:00 43 -1 9 280 (W) 110 mstly clr none 05:00 43 -1 10 290 (WNW) 87 mstly clr none 06:00 44 0 21 308 (NW) 68 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
