Enough lighting to knock out the power at 21:00. We are currently running on generator power but all is good. When I did checkouts I found that there was a dome collision that had triggered the stop button at some point during the day. The collision was corrected after the few slew. The echelle IOL was having trouble again tonight and I found that the quartz lamp had burned out. A PR was sent and it should be replaced 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 36 31 7 226 (SW) cloudy none 17:00 36 31 7 193 (SSW) mstly cldy none 18:00 37 30 13 214 (SW) mstly cldy none 19:00 37 30 5 246 (WSW) cloudy none 20:00 36 32 12 190 (S) cloudy rain 21:00 34 32 17 254 (WSW) cloudy rain 22:00 34 32 20 209 (SSW) cloudy humid 23:00 34 32 17 234 (SW) cloudy humid 00:00 35 32 13 188 (S) cloudy humid 01:00 36 32 21 194 (SSW) cloudy humid 02:00 36 32 21 196 (SSW) cloudy humid 03:00 34 32 17 244 (WSW) cloudy rain 04:00 34 32 15 238 (WSW) cloudy rain 05:00 34 32 5 231 (SW) cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
