During checkout, Agile hung. Due to training, was not able to address it until a few hours later. Problem was resolved. Skies stayed mostly clear, and seeing was good. All programs got their full times 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:56 ecamera 227( -502) 172 62 6.1 8.2 7.9 7.6 6.4 ND3 1.09 21:30 ecamera 341( -480) 3 63 6.0 6.5 6.9 6.1 6.2 ND2 0.82 01:34 tcamera 581( 747) -26 61 5.6 5.2 5.7 5.3 5.6 - 1.10 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 51 8 6 266 (W) 467 mstly clr none 17:00 48 7 6 267 (W) 552 mstly clr none 18:00 45 5 3 261 (W) 378 mstly clr none 19:00 43 6 2 206 (SSW) 467 mstly clr none 20:00 44 5 2 190 (S) 418 mstly clr none 21:00 45 5 2 197 (SSW) 375 mstly clr none 22:00 44 4 5 182 (S) 368 mstly clr none 23:00 43 5 11 196 (SSW) 369 mstly clr none 00:00 42 4 14 199 (SSW) 524 mstly clr none 01:00 43 1 9 237 (WSW) 451 mstly clr none 02:00 43 0 8 252 (WSW) 386 mstly clr none 03:00 42 0 11 217 (SW) 379 mstly clr none 04:00 41 1 15 238 (WSW) 504 mstly clr none 05:00 41 2 12 227 (SW) 567 mstly clr none 06:00 40 1 9 255 (WSW) 606 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
