I had to fix the pointing on the echelle for the last program of the night. It was off about 1/2 the field. No Echelle IOL in the morning since the observer was using the instrument for their cals. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:13 ecamera 633( 248) -32 67 15.0 15.1 15.6 14.8 14.7 ND2 1.10 00:13 ecamera 521( 80) -32 66 12.9 13.9 14.3 13.7 13.1 clear 1.10 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 54 47 8 46 (NE) cloudy rain 17:00 57 50 7 174 (S) mstly cldy lt rain 18:00 55 47 13 36 (NE) cloudy none 19:00 58 46 4 152 (SSE) 271 cloudy none 20:00 58 49 10 91 (E) 237 cloudy none 21:00 57 47 6 343 (NNW) 133 ptly cldy none 22:00 59 45 2 323 (NW) 227 mstly clr none 23:00 60 38 12 23 (NNE) 260 clear none 00:00 55 45 7 2 (N) 181 clear none 01:00 57 47 9 332 (NNW) 166 clear none 02:00 56 48 1 211 (SSW) 186 clear none 03:00 57 45 14 1 (N) 238 clear none 04:00 56 47 6 351 (N) 237 clear none 05:00 57 43 16 9 (N) 232 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
