Everything worked well except for the DIS slitviewer (manageable) and the Agile rotator (needed frequent inits, but as long as we caught it before it lagged too far, the recovery was near-instantaneous and images were still usable). ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:23 dcamera 502( 1092) 194 79 15.2 17.5 17.7 17.4 15.4 - 0.97 01:20 AGILE 435(-1222) 89 67 14.2 13.7 14.3 13.5 13.6 BG40 1.16 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 67 21 18 266 (W) clear none 17:00 70 25 19 225 (SW) clear none 18:00 65 21 8 264 (W) clear none 19:00 63 18 15 257 (WSW) clear none 20:00 60 15 13 269 (W) clear none 21:00 59 14 10 266 (W) clear none 22:00 59 16 9 281 (W) clear none 23:00 59 14 14 304 (NW) clear none 00:00 58 14 10 280 (W) clear none 01:00 58 14 12 298 (WNW) clear none 02:00 58 14 5 351 (N) clear none 03:00 57 14 9 340 (NNW) clear none 04:00 55 13 5 11 (N) clear none 05:00 55 15 13 34 (NE) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
