At one point the wind was pushing the telescope enough that I had to ask the observer to move to a different position. But we were able to keep taking data all night and some of it was pretty useful. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:10 dcamera 601( 588) 73 79 3.4 5.8 5.4 5.8 3.9 - 1.30 00:20 dcamera 680( 622) 143 62 5.3 4.8 5.1 4.9 5.1 - 1.66 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 44 20 7 202 (SSW) 78 mstly cldy none 17:00 38 20 14 235 (SW) 55 mstly cldy none 18:00 38 22 19 216 (SW) 73 mstly cldy none 19:00 38 21 20 233 (SW) 129 mstly cldy none 20:00 39 20 27 267 (W) 134 ptly cldy none 21:00 40 20 20 269 (W) 132 ptly cldy none 22:00 40 20 22 281 (W) 143 ptly cldy none 23:00 41 20 18 281 (W) 124 mstly clr none 00:00 41 20 17 291 (WNW) 129 ptly cldy none 01:00 41 20 17 280 (W) 123 ptly cldy none 02:00 41 22 13 268 (W) 112 mstly clr none 03:00 41 21 12 272 (W) 94 clear none 04:00 41 22 13 286 (WNW) 60 clear none 05:00 41 22 15 274 (W) 74 clear none 06:00 42 22 16 295 (WNW) 66 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
