Skies started partly cloudy. The PMSS monitor computer was also frozen, and needed a hard boot. Forcast called for high humidity, as of 19:00 it's still dry, and mostly clear, though the seeing is not great. Seeing improved as the winds turned s-sw. The rest of the night was clear and calm with ok seeing. We were open all night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:36 ecamera 288( -541) 52 76 5.4 7.0 7.0 6.5 5.8 ND4 1.05 18:03 ecamera 319( -541) -125 73 5.4 6.3 6.6 5.9 5.4 clear 1.56 19:20 ecamera 391( -473) -130 56 6.7 6.0 6.6 5.9 6.4 clear 1.20 21:30 arctic 466( 690) -95 54 5.7 5.7 6.4 5.7 5.8 SDSS_r 1.25 00:07 APOLLO 450( 1364) 282 45 9.1 6.5 7.3 6.1 7.0 530 1.30 01:15 ecamera 392( -446) 311 53 8.5 6.5 7.2 6.0 7.3 clear 1.17 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 44 26 3 346 (NNW) 390 ptly cldy none 17:00 42 17 9 38 (NE) 255 ptly cldy none 18:00 41 9 9 46 (NE) 287 mstly clr none 19:00 43 -4 5 13 (NNE) 62 mstly clr none 20:00 44 -4 14 29 (NNE) 65 mstly clr none 21:00 44 -4 6 59 (ENE) 28 mstly clr none 22:00 44 -5 11 49 (NE) 38 clear none 23:00 48 -3 1 128 (SE) 18 clear none 00:00 47 -4 1 146 (SE) 20 clear none 01:00 47 -4 4 188 (S) 23 clear none 02:00 49 -2 1 186 (S) 13 clear none 03:00 49 -1 2 197 (SSW) 22 clear none 04:00 49 -2 3 194 (SSW) 16 clear none 05:00 48 -2 3 197 (SSW) 14 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
