Aside from some thin clouds, tonight was pretty uneventful. Observer ended sky time around 6:11 AM and then started running a long cal script. I did not do the morning interorder light measurements. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UV03 N I/H 19:27 19:37 Reset NICFPS ICS ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:50 NICFPS 536( 1449) 72 34 7.9 9.6 9.7 8.9 8.1 MK-J 0.85 00:17 ecamera 556( -184) 53 62 6.7 6.1 6.6 6.2 6.6 ND3 0.89 01:41 ecamera 560( -175) 178 42 5.4 5.9 6.5 6.0 5.5 Clear 1.30 Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 53 10 4 235 (SW) 460 clear none 17:00 54 9 12 195 (SSW) 446 clear none 18:00 54 10 6 250 (WSW) 428 clear none 19:00 49 9 11 200 (SSW) 429 clear none 20:00 46 8 11 182 (S) 402 mstly clr none 21:00 44 9 10 137 (SE) 406 mstly clr none 22:00 44 11 16 131 (SE) 422 mstly clr none 23:00 43 10 10 123 (ESE) 416 mstly clr none 00:00 44 11 17 128 (SE) 414 mstly clr none 01:00 44 13 6 126 (SE) 463 mstly clr none 02:00 44 13 10 152 (SSE) 468 mstly clr none 03:00 42 15 14 136 (SE) 577 mstly clr none 04:00 43 15 15 128 (SE) 534 mstly clr none 05:00 43 19 19 129 (SE) 568 mstly clr none 06:00 43 20 19 128 (SE) 501 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
