The DIS users were very happy with the performance of the red side and not so happy with the blue side, but it was very good to be getting data again! ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:54 dcamera 607( 592) 80 75 4.6 5.7 5.8 5.5 4.7 - 1.93 22:58 dcamera 635( 457) -4 61 2.2 2.4 3.5 2.7 2.4 - 1.21 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 42 7 1 18 (NNE) 70 ptly cldy none 17:00 41 7 5 319 (NW) 34 mstly clr none 18:00 41 4 6 21 (NNE) 20 clear none 19:00 40 5 9 330 (NNW) 14 clear none 20:00 40 5 7 339 (NNW) 16 mstly clr none 21:00 40 4 14 350 (N) 10 mstly clr none 22:00 38 5 9 358 (N) 7 mstly clr none 23:00 39 3 11 337 (NNW) 5 mstly clr none 00:00 35 6 6 3 (N) 2 mstly clr none 01:00 37 7 7 354 (N) 0 mstly clr none 01:00 36 6 3 266 (W) 1 mstly clr none 02:00 37 6 8 338 (NNW) 2 mstly clr none 03:00 36 6 9 344 (NNW) 2 ptly cldy none 04:00 35 7 7 329 (NNW) 4 ptly cldy none 05:00 35 7 8 300 (WNW) 8 mstly clr none 06:00 36 7 5 280 (W) 6 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
