Once conditions improved, I got some measurements of DIS vs slitviewer focus, collimation with the Shack-Hartmann, a pointing model, and ARCTIC throughput measurements. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:30 dcamera 419( 401) 77 77 4.0 4.7 4.6 4.5 4.2 - 1.17 21:07 dcamera 437( 331) 37 37 2.5 2.3 3.2 2.5 2.5 - 1.48 21:34 dcamera 448( 331) 29 40 2.6 2.1 3.0 2.3 2.4 - 1.20 00:54 shack 475( 1056) 122 63 3.1 1.8 2.6 2.0 2.6 - 1.30 01:55 guider 470( 495) 30 72 2.7 1.7 2.6 2.0 2.4 B 1.35 04:50 arctic 468( 510) -22 55 3.0 1.9 2.8 2.3 2.8 r 2.11 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 37 20 7 194 (SSW) 382 mstly cldy none 17:00 37 22 7 213 (SSW) 315 mstly cldy none 18:00 40 22 7 256 (WSW) 350 mstly cldy none 19:00 40 22 8 262 (W) 349 mstly cldy none 20:00 39 22 8 266 (W) 309 mstly cldy none 21:00 36 15 5 264 (W) 391 mstly cldy none 22:00 38 17 9 304 (NW) 396 mstly cldy none 23:00 38 15 11 325 (NW) 444 ptly cldy none 00:00 38 17 9 333 (NNW) 407 ptly cldy none 01:00 38 20 12 321 (NW) 383 mstly clr none 02:00 37 21 11 308 (NW) 391 clear none 03:00 37 22 12 329 (NNW) 452 clear none 04:00 38 21 9 335 (NNW) 506 clear none 05:00 37 22 10 349 (N) 517 clear none 06:00 39 18 15 334 (NNW) 478 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
