Agile needed to be restarted at checkout. Azimuth oscillations were noticeable at (127, 59) and (340, 60). We had clouds roll in at sunset and things were pretty thick all night making faints object difficult if not impossible. However, we did have good seeing so...*shrug* that's something. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:38 ecamera 335( 133) -66 55 17.4 18.5 18.9 17.8 17.4 ND2 0.97 00:26 ecamera 271( -60) 33 56 16.3 16.0 16.7 15.8 16.1 ND3 0.92 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 75 30 10 260 (W) 1428 mstly clr none 17:00 70 25 10 243 (WSW) 1510 mstly clr none 18:00 71 27 13 266 (W) 991 mstly clr none 19:00 69 24 10 253 (WSW) 1060 mstly clr none 20:00 64 20 11 262 (W) 1159 ptly cldy none 21:00 63 19 11 249 (WSW) 1226 ptly cldy none 22:00 62 18 13 245 (WSW) 1053 mstly cldy none 23:00 61 16 9 250 (WSW) 1070 mstly cldy none 00:00 63 19 8 279 (W) 1092 mstly cldy none 01:00 61 17 8 268 (W) 877 cloudy none 02:00 63 18 7 262 (W) 722 cloudy none 03:00 62 18 5 264 (W) 909 cloudy none 04:00 62 18 9 288 (WNW) 801 cloudy none 05:00 60 15 9 329 (NNW) 866 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
