We had a fire alarm go off while I was filling instruments in the morning. It says in ops building but we don't see any fire or smoke, so false alarm. John Downy came in while I was starting to investigate and he took over looking into which alarm is faulting while I finish up with my 3.5m end night tasks. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:46 arctic 591( 837) 198 69 6.2 7.8 7.8 7.8 6.2 SDSS_r 0.75 18:48 NA2gdr 3693(37693) 198 68 6.2 7.8 7.8 7.7 6.2 clear 1.00 00:24 dcamera 338( 324) -151 74 7.0 5.7 6.2 5.9 6.4 -- 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 46 2 9 268 (W) 831 mstly cldy none 17:00 46 3 4 265 (W) 750 ptly cldy none 18:00 43 2 7 261 (W) 745 ptly cldy none 19:00 42 3 10 261 (W) 1188 ptly cldy none 20:00 43 5 12 243 (WSW) 1341 ptly cldy none 21:00 42 5 15 246 (WSW) 1300 ptly cldy none 22:00 43 5 10 217 (SW) 1081 ptly cldy none 23:00 42 3 12 202 (SSW) 1037 mstly clr none 00:00 42 1 10 235 (SW) 686 mstly clr none 01:00 43 6 9 263 (W) 493 mstly clr none 02:00 41 4 10 273 (W) 562 mstly clr none 03:00 40 5 11 307 (NW) 570 ptly cldy none 04:00 40 5 19 316 (NW) 709 ptly cldy none 05:00 40 7 13 336 (NNW) 382 ptly cldy none 06:00 40 8 14 327 (NNW) 313 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
