It got so cold tonight! -10C! While the sky was clear, seeing was atrocious at the beginning of the night, fluctuating around 3-5". As the winds shifted and calmed, the seeing improved greatly. All in all, a fairly good night. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:53 dcamera 430( -124) 274 34 -7.6 -7.3 -6.8 -7.6 -7.4 -- 2.50 00:23 tcamera 505( 80) 159 53 -8.6 -9.2 -8.5 -9.4 -8.8 Ks 1.28 02:39 tcamera 519( 86) 182 58 -8.6 -9.3 -8.7 -9.3 -8.8 Ks 1.15 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 21 2 8 358 (N) 72 mstly clr none 17:00 20 -1 18 40 (NE) 103 mstly clr none 18:00 20 -5 19 33 (NNE) 91 clear none 19:00 19 -3 10 96 (E) 92 clear none 20:00 19 -2 1 331 (NNW) 104 clear none 21:00 19 -2 5 342 (NNW) 92 clear none 22:00 17 -1 5 9 (N) 96 clear none 23:00 18 -1 2 317 (NW) 96 clear none 00:00 18 -2 9 312 (NW) 92 clear none 01:00 17 -1 8 313 (NW) 86 clear none 02:00 16 -1 7 350 (N) 101 clear none 03:00 16 -2 3 318 (NW) 111 clear none 04:00 15 -2 6 353 (N) 92 clear none 05:00 15 -2 7 340 (NNW) 95 clear none 06:00 14 -2 8 0 (N) 100 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
