Seeing was decent. Apollo could not observe due to GPS being jammed by Holoman AFB. The remaining time was given to CU03. Weather stayed good, and we observed all night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:36 ecamera 575( -191) 115 38 5.3 7.2 6.5 7.3 5.9 ND4 1.05 21:45 ecamera 376( -489) 229 39 5.5 5.2 5.7 5.1 5.2 clear 1.09 00:12 APOLLO 400( 1252) 35 39 5.1 5.0 5.6 5.1 5.1 530 1.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 45 8 2 287 (WNW) 1079 clear none 17:00 43 7 7 298 (WNW) 908 ptly cldy none 18:00 42 8 5 263 (W) 897 ptly cldy none 19:00 43 9 5 288 (WNW) 887 ptly cldy none 20:00 42 8 8 305 (NW) 781 clear none 21:00 42 9 11 234 (SW) 793 clear none 22:00 42 9 12 241 (WSW) 821 clear none 23:00 43 9 12 264 (W) 605 clear none 00:00 42 7 11 263 (W) 542 clear none 01:00 42 8 10 229 (SW) 583 clear none 02:00 41 7 7 190 (S) 491 clear none 03:00 41 7 7 183 (S) 520 clear none 04:00 40 6 6 186 (S) 392 clear none 05:00 41 6 8 185 (S) 451 clear none 06:00 38 9 12 144 (SE) 607 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
