Yay! There were clouds but they never held rain and seeing was beautiful all night. I believe the echelle filter wheel is confused. It's currently set to Clear but I suspect it's at ND3. I'll try to look at it before I leave site tomorrow. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:16 dcamera 644( 501) -58 78 4.6 3.2 4.0 2.8 3.8 -- 1.24 17:13 ecamera 709( -112) 242 80 3.1 6.6 6.4 6.6 4.2 ND3 0.81 18:51 dcamera 631( 512) 292 81 3.2 3.7 4.2 3.2 3.2 -- 0.96 00:27 NICFPS 801( 1052) 143 64 2.5 1.1 1.9 1.2 1.6 MK-H 0.69 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 43 8 5 251 (WSW) 211 ptly cldy none 17:00 38 -6 5 257 (WSW) 47 ptly cldy none 18:00 38 -6 10 268 (W) 23 ptly cldy none 19:00 38 -5 7 267 (W) 40 ptly cldy none 20:00 36 -8 6 262 (W) 84 ptly cldy none 21:00 35 -8 10 298 (WNW) 141 ptly cldy none 22:00 35 -8 12 321 (NW) 94 ptly cldy none 23:00 36 -7 10 305 (NW) 221 clear none 00:00 35 -6 11 328 (NNW) 178 clear none 01:00 36 -6 9 280 (W) 176 ptly cldy none 02:00 35 -5 5 274 (W) 195 mstly cldy none 03:00 35 -7 1 323 (NW) 191 mstly cldy none 04:00 35 -6 7 356 (N) 145 mstly cldy none 05:00 36 -3 6 353 (N) 147 mstly clr none 06:00 36 5 7 16 (NNE) 138 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
