Maybe test during upcoming engineering time and PR if issue found. The keyboard was missing several keystrokes tonight as I typed in the message window. Russet has mentioned this problem before as well with Obs1. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:23 arctic 686( 1258) -93 26 11.8 13.6 14.2 13.1 12.2 SDSS_u+ND1.3 1.00 20:08 arctic 500( 990) -104 36 10.8 12.1 12.9 11.6 10.9 SDSS_u+ND1.3 1.40 21:15 APOLLO 400( 1543) -73 44 9.6 10.4 11.3 10.1 9.6 -- 2.00 22:28 arctic 558( 898) -120 46 9.3 9.4 10.3 9.3 9.3 SDSS_u 2.20 00:36 arctic 732( 1016) 169 62 8.3 8.5 9.7 8.6 8.4 SDSS_u 1.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 66 24 11 202 (SSW) 1552 clear none 17:00 64 25 16 219 (SW) 1479 clear none 18:00 60 24 6 192 (SSW) 1485 clear none 19:00 60 30 12 186 (S) 1415 mstly clr none 20:00 54 37 18 146 (SE) 1476 mstly clr none 21:00 52 40 16 117 (ESE) 1425 clear none 22:00 50 44 14 111 (ESE) 1627 clear none 23:00 49 44 17 78 (ENE) clear none 00:00 49 44 16 86 (E) clear humid 01:00 48 43 13 91 (E) clear humid 02:00 49 37 8 93 (E) clear none 03:00 52 25 2 217 (SW) 2178 clear none 04:00 52 26 6 184 (S) 2335 clear none 05:00 51 27 10 163 (SSE) 2022 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
