I have never seen this behaviour before. No problems tonight with nice clear skies for most of it and good seeing too! ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:03 dcamera 764( 554) 138 57 -1.0 1.7 1.6 1.4 -0.6 -- 1.35 19:37 dcamera 564( 265) -146 42 -0.9 -0.2 -0.0 -0.8 -0.9 -- 1.35 20:46 dcamera 658( 320) 267 62 -0.8 -0.7 -0.4 -0.8 -0.8 -- 1.25 21:52 arctic 822( 627) 210 65 -0.6 -0.8 -0.4 -1.0 -0.8 JC-V 1.20 21:54 NA2gdr 4157(38157) 211 65 -0.7 -0.8 -0.5 -1.0 -0.8 R 1.20 00:17 NA2gdr 4157(38157) 248 56 -0.4 -0.7 -0.4 -0.8 -0.4 ND4 0.84 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 39 19 8 296 (WNW) 533 mstly clr none 17:00 32 15 2 248 (WSW) 327 mstly clr none 18:00 30 17 6 294 (WNW) 548 clear none 19:00 30 19 6 300 (WNW) 481 clear none 20:00 31 17 8 276 (W) 475 clear none 21:00 31 18 9 269 (W) 610 clear none 22:00 30 17 11 283 (WNW) 824 clear none 23:00 32 18 17 298 (WNW) 913 clear none 00:00 31 18 17 297 (WNW) 959 mstly clr none 01:00 31 18 14 294 (WNW) 930 ptly cldy none 02:00 31 19 17 300 (WNW) 965 clear none 03:00 30 19 13 293 (WNW) 1068 clear none 04:00 30 19 8 297 (WNW) 955 clear none 05:00 29 19 12 341 (NNW) 1181 clear none 06:00 31 18 13 354 (N) 641 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
