And here I was thinking I'd sing about Breakdown. Things were certainly cold but not as cold as last night. Slow and steady won the race tonight with the arctic shutter and we had no secondary issues. There weren't even moths! That's right, cuz they're all DEAD from the cold (but poor Arl). It was clear and breezy but seeing, sadly, was rather poor. No problems tonight! ======== The Sun fell down, the air got cold I walked out in the dome Daydreamed for a slew or two Staring at my feet like a tired girl Out of luck, ARCTIC cut me slack night rolled in, I slew to home A hard wind at my back I'm out in the cold, body and soul This shutter's so slow I'm out in the cold When I switched out, my throat was stunned My sneezes did resound Please let it be just the trees No virus that I've found I thought of this aching throat, I wonder whats this strand? Did I just catch some flu charms Is it on my hands? Yeah I caught a cold, body and soul There's no where to go, Yeah I caught a cold ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:16 APOLLO 1050( 1543) -8 42 -4.7 -2.4 -4.1 -2.7 -3.8 530 1.70 18:54 dcamera 753( 197) 22 50 -6.1 -5.2 -5.1 -5.6 -5.9 -- 2.01 21:26 dcamera 715( 126) 4 48 -5.3 -5.8 -5.4 -5.8 -5.4 -- 1.93 00:36 arctic 866( 452) 72 63 -3.8 -5.1 -4.6 -5.2 -4.2 VR 1.29 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 22 9 1 330 (NNW) 226 clear none 17:00 22 6 2 41 (NE) 149 clear none 18:00 22 5 10 47 (NE) 47 clear none 19:00 21 5 3 92 (E) 48 clear none 20:00 22 13 15 44 (NE) 16 clear none 21:00 22 14 15 36 (NE) 10 clear none 22:00 22 15 10 21 (NNE) clear none 23:00 22 14 16 43 (NE) clear none 00:00 24 13 9 78 (ENE) 7 clear none 01:00 26 12 20 39 (NE) 17 clear none 02:00 26 12 14 76 (ENE) 9 clear none 03:00 26 12 21 70 (ENE) 136 clear none 04:00 24 14 18 78 (ENE) 18 clear none 05:00 27 13 17 62 (ENE) 7 clear none 06:00 28 10 21 57 (ENE) 19 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
