I also made a slight change to the DIS boresight position tonight. We fought clouds most of the night but no telescope issues. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:35 ecamera 297( 200) 21 27 15.7 18.2 18.6 17.9 16.2 Clear 1.47 22:28 arctic 532( 1421) 161 60 15.4 16.4 16.9 16.0 15.6 CU_VR 1.40 02:19 dcamera 565( 1182) 91 62 16.1 16.0 16.5 16.0 16.2 -- 1.23 02:58 ecamera 503( 264) 169 81 16.2 16.1 16.4 16.2 16.3 Clear 0.95 04:21 dcamera 491( 1074) 234 73 15.7 15.5 16.0 15.4 15.4 -- 1.06 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 67 33 1 163 (SSE) 722 mstly cldy none 17:00 66 32 8 91 (E) 931 ptly cldy none 18:00 67 29 7 102 (ESE) 1455 ptly cldy none 19:00 67 31 4 118 (ESE) 1088 ptly cldy none 20:00 64 26 11 111 (ESE) 1248 mstly cldy none 21:00 62 24 14 83 (E) 1440 ptly cldy none 22:00 60 32 11 97 (E) 1735 mstly clr none 23:00 59 32 16 78 (ENE) 2018 mstly clr none 00:00 59 31 14 71 (ENE) 2247 ptly cldy none 01:00 64 31 10 39 (NE) 1677 ptly cldy none 02:00 61 31 9 35 (NE) 872 ptly cldy none 03:00 61 31 15 41 (NE) 1623 ptly cldy none 04:00 60 31 14 34 (NE) 1441 ptly cldy none 05:00 58 31 6 12 (NNE) 1685 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
