Everything ran really smoothly, no echelle issues. Until I dismounted ARCTIC and found that the filter wheel was misaligned. It looks like that after have many filter changes over the course of UV02’s time the wheel became slowly misaligned. *sigh* ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:28 ecamera 371( -378) 191 37 6.4 7.5 7.6 7.1 6.4 -- 0.94 01:21 ecamera 370( -520) -33 69 5.5 5.2 5.7 5.3 5.6 ND3 0.64 05:35 APOLLO 395( 1218) -24 43 4.4 4.1 4.7 4.2 4.4 530 1.20 Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
