Arctic wasn't responding and I did an init which cased a quad to drop. I tried doing a leech controller restart but it didn't help so UW02 used the LL mode. The night was clear and we had good seeing. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UW02 R I/S 01:06 01:33 Quad drop out ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:42 tcamera 783( 1457) -41 33 13.5 14.8 14.4 14.4 13.8 -- 0.95 00:14 arctic 594( 1102) 83 47 12.6 12.7 13.3 12.4 12.7 sdss-r 1.87 04:51 APOLLO 600( 1816) -31 72 12.6 12.2 12.7 12.1 12.5 530 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 60 38 14 288 (WNW) clear none 17:00 62 32 13 290 (WNW) clear none 18:00 58 31 3 263 (W) clear none 19:00 56 30 11 325 (NW) clear none 20:00 57 32 7 264 (W) clear none 21:00 57 36 6 272 (W) clear none 22:00 57 33 7 262 (W) clear none 23:00 56 40 6 244 (WSW) clear none 00:00 56 42 7 228 (SW) clear none 01:00 56 40 5 242 (WSW) clear none 02:00 55 36 6 228 (SW) clear none 03:00 56 36 5 263 (W) clear none 04:00 56 36 7 258 (WSW) clear none 05:00 55 36 8 208 (SSW) clear none 06:00 55 36 7 203 (SSW) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
