CU03 missed their eclipse and so allowed CU10 to start early. I considered closing at various points but we were able to keep going until shortly before morning twilight, and got spectra of a fair number of targets. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:39 tcamera 210( 1138) 118 64 15.6 17.6 17.9 17.5 16.2 Ks 1.13 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 63 49 1 191 (S) 552 cloudy none 17:00 67 47 4 231 (SW) 457 cloudy none 18:00 68 48 9 225 (SW) 419 cloudy none 19:00 66 49 6 235 (SW) 402 cloudy none 20:00 62 49 6 239 (WSW) 419 cloudy none 21:00 62 51 1 164 (SSE) 386 cloudy lt rain 22:00 60 51 5 104 (ESE) 486 mstly cldy none 23:00 60 51 9 126 (SE) 503 ptly cldy none 00:00 60 50 10 115 (ESE) 548 mstly cldy none 01:00 59 49 9 110 (ESE) 523 ptly cldy none 02:00 60 45 5 150 (SSE) 507 mstly clr none 03:00 60 43 10 136 (SE) 426 clear none 04:00 58 43 4 124 (SE) 444 mstly clr none 05:00 57 44 1 162 (SSE) 479 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
