The CU class finished up their training and they are now official observers! They had clear skies their entire shift. Some thin clouds starting appearing around 11pm and stayed off and on until dawn. But we had great seeing and everyone had a lot of fun! ------- FAILURE LOG ------- FAILURE MODE TIME PROG INSTR TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:25 APOLLO 800( 1940) -18 29 8.7 10.9 9.7 10.8 9.5 530 1.50 18:33 arctic 510( 873) 129 68 7.9 8.8 8.9 8.4 8.1 3500 1.76 22:17 arctic 377( 603) 263 50 6.5 5.7 6.5 5.3 5.6 3500 1.10 22:29 ecamera 341( -541) 310 57 6.8 5.6 6.3 5.2 5.6 Clear 0.88 00:22 arctic 414( 615) -38 67 6.1 5.4 6.0 5.2 6.1 SDSS-r 0.70 02:27 arctic 321( 455) 103 57 3.0 3.9 4.4 3.3 3.1 SDSS-r 1.06 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 52 5 12 15 (NNE) clear none 17:00 52 4 7 10 (N) clear none 18:00 49 2 11 22 (NNE) clear none 19:00 48 1 16 23 (NNE) clear none 20:00 46 2 15 78 (ENE) clear none 21:00 42 4 15 80 (E) clear none 22:00 47 2 1 215 (SW) clear none 23:00 45 -1 2 229 (SW) mstly clr none 00:00 44 3 4 185 (S) mstly clr none 01:00 45 2 6 183 (S) mstly clr none 02:00 42 -1 4 188 (S) mstly clr none 03:00 37 -1 5 192 (SSW) mstly clr none 04:00 38 1 5 186 (S) mstly clr none 05:00 37 1 3 235 (SW) mstly clr none 06:00 40 0 6 233 (SW) mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
