After some pickup science with echelle, I did Shack-Hartmann collimation, ARCTIC shutter tests, echelle guiding tests, more ARCTIC shutter tests, a smidgen of DIS focus, and some secondary motion tests. Then I finished up with an APOLLO run. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:17 ecamera 857( -264) 197 58 -0.1 0.5 0.7 0.4 0.0 ND3 1.13 21:29 shack 950( 1261) 40 62 2.8 1.2 1.9 1.6 2.5 - 1.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 32 17 6 1 (N) 199 clear none 17:00 32 12 16 10 (N) 114 clear none 18:00 32 7 15 25 (NNE) 166 clear none 19:00 32 7 14 24 (NNE) 143 clear none 20:00 33 -11 20 11 (N) 71 clear none 21:00 37 -9 22 29 (NNE) 39 clear none 22:00 35 -14 15 359 (N) 27 clear none 23:00 35 -11 25 17 (NNE) 54 clear none 00:00 34 -8 19 22 (NNE) 67 clear none 01:00 34 -9 18 18 (NNE) 49 clear none 02:00 34 -8 12 30 (NNE) 86 clear none 03:00 35 -9 9 8 (N) 54 clear none 04:00 36 -9 2 17 (NNE) 23 clear none 05:00 35 -9 4 37 (NE) 34 clear none 06:00 36 -10 8 330 (NNW) 23 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
