I got the telescope collimated and did a rough pointing fix for each instrument port, more pointing work still to be done. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:47 arctic 482( 1408) 46 60 17.2 17.2 17.7 17.0 17.4 r 1.31 03:41 shack 300( 1764) 239 56 17.8 17.0 17.4 16.8 17.3 - 1.10 04:49 APOLLO 225( 1759) 84 56 15.7 16.3 16.7 15.9 15.7 530 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 63 50 11 62 (ENE) 1455 cloudy lt rain 17:00 53 45 16 15 (NNE) 974 cloudy rain 18:00 65 34 5 102 (ESE) 615 cloudy rain 19:00 61 40 18 110 (ESE) 344 cloudy lt rain 20:00 66 35 16 77 (ENE) 211 cloudy lt rain 21:00 63 41 7 208 (SSW) 300 cloudy none 22:00 64 42 5 193 (SSW) 525 ptly cldy none 23:00 64 43 2 197 (SSW) 515 ptly cldy none 00:00 64 42 12 171 (S) 407 mstly clr none 01:00 63 43 14 166 (SSE) 509 ptly cldy none 02:00 64 43 9 186 (S) 613 ptly cldy none 03:00 64 41 12 211 (SSW) 965 clear none 04:00 63 41 9 240 (WSW) 1979 clear none 05:00 61 42 2 218 (SW) 982 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
