(hub startNubs did nothing, the controller was hung.) Evening started clear, good seeing, little wind. Clouds started moving in around 2100. By 2300 it was overcast. The JH05 observer had dim targets and needed photometric skies, so gave up at 02:10. No other problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:05 arctic 723( 858) 8 63 5.6 5.6 5.3 5.4 5.5 sdss_r 0.82 21:19 dcamera 713( 656) 138 56 5.1 4.7 5.2 4.6 4.7 - 0.85 00:09 arctic 773( 846) 188 70 4.6 4.4 4.9 4.5 4.5 sdss-r 0.82 Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 40 1 1 302 (WNW) 52 clear none 17:00 42 -5 2 296 (WNW) 21 mstly clr none 18:00 43 -4 1 247 (WSW) 15 mstly clr none 19:00 43 -2 2 225 (SW) 12 mstly clr none 20:00 43 -3 3 189 (S) 10 mstly clr none 21:00 42 -4 3 193 (SSW) 12 ptly cldy none 22:00 41 -4 8 189 (S) 10 mstly cldy none 23:00 41 -5 14 210 (SSW) 10 mstly cldy none 00:00 41 -5 7 182 (S) 11 cloudy none 01:00 41 -7 10 182 (S) 5 cloudy none 02:00 41 -5 9 189 (S) 4 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
