I'd forgotten how much that instrument can push up against dawn. We had a great night with clear skies and good seeing. JH01 was kind enough to donate some of their time to JH06 so they could finish off a target. Everyone collected such good data!! And so much of it! No problems 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:42 Tspec 590 134.8 73.5 8.1 10.43 10.50 10.58 8.69 -- 0.95 01:58 Tapec 581 150.5 42.1 8.1 8.00 8.56 8.02 8.19 -- 1.19 05:28 Tspec 570 -2.0 41.4 8.2 7.65 8.06 7.61 8.06 -- 1.13 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 53 9 9 274 (W) 1442 clear none 17:00 56 10 14 246 (WSW) 1587 clear none 18:00 52 8 11 236 (SW) 1805 clear none 19:00 50 5 6 187 (S) 1887 clear none 20:00 46 1 12 180 (S) 2170 clear none 21:00 47 1 14 179 (S) 1979 clear none 22:00 47 1 16 192 (SSW) 1846 clear none 23:00 47 4 17 195 (SSW) 1328 clear none 00:00 48 4 21 202 (SSW) 1186 clear none 01:00 48 4 19 196 (SSW) 1276 clear none 02:00 47 3 14 184 (S) 1390 clear none 03:00 47 1 23 197 (SSW) 1287 clear none 04:00 47 2 21 199 (SSW) 1440 clear none 05:00 47 3 22 224 (SW) 1614 clear none 06:00 47 3 21 217 (SW) 1644 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
