The Az currents looked fine and there was nothing on the load cells. (az 152, Az 77). I didn't notice it much otherwise, but I was working on other things with ARCSAT while my 3.5m observer was using the telescope. No problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:17 APOLLO 600( 1747) 30 36 8.4 11.2 10.7 10.9 8.8 -- 1.20 18:31 dcamera 415( 637) 117 52 9.1 9.5 9.5 8.9 8.7 -- 0.96 19:56 dcamera 456( 611) 118 69 8.3 8.3 8.8 8.0 8.1 -- 1.13 02:30 ecamera 377( -443) 337 67 7.8 7.1 7.7 7.0 7.5 ND2 0.69 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 52 18 6 254 (WSW) mstly clr none 17:00 48 15 12 297 (WNW) mstly clr none 18:00 47 16 13 282 (WNW) mstly clr none 19:00 48 17 12 266 (W) mstly clr none 20:00 47 18 14 247 (WSW) clear none 21:00 46 20 12 240 (WSW) mstly clr none 22:00 47 22 10 239 (WSW) mstly clr none 23:00 47 21 9 261 (W) clear none 00:00 47 23 10 274 (W) clear none 01:00 47 24 9 226 (SW) clear none 02:00 46 24 9 213 (SSW) clear none 03:00 46 24 9 194 (SSW) clear none 04:00 46 23 7 209 (SSW) clear none 05:00 47 17 7 231 (SW) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
