No problems tonight. NA2 rotator might be slightly off from the tape mark on the rotator. It is not far off but the tick marks are not exactly aligned. I can re-zero it tomorrow afternoon during checkout and see how far it is off. Humidity rose at the end of the night but we stayed open until the end. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:33 APOLLO 500( 2024) 61 50 17.1 19.5 18.9 19.3 17.9 -- 2.50 20:46 arctic 393( 1170) -19 44 16.2 17.4 17.5 16.8 16.2 SDSS_g 1.18 20:47 NA2gdr 1074(38074) -19 44 16.2 17.3 17.5 16.8 16.2 clear 1.35 22:55 arctic 391( 1035) -153 54 13.6 14.6 15.3 14.4 13.9 SDSS_r 1.50 01:11 NICFPS 354( 1306) -130 38 13.5 13.5 14.1 13.4 13.4 H 1.20 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 67 46 10 222 (SW) 257 mstly cldy none 17:00 69 47 13 209 (SSW) 324 mstly cldy none 18:00 65 45 11 205 (SSW) 273 ptly cldy none 19:00 64 45 12 234 (SW) 269 ptly cldy none 20:00 62 44 7 175 (S) 228 mstly clr none 21:00 61 45 13 132 (SE) 256 clear none 22:00 59 47 13 112 (ESE) 277 clear none 23:00 57 48 15 118 (ESE) 466 clear none 00:00 57 49 19 126 (SE) 395 clear none 01:00 56 48 12 124 (SE) 409 clear none 02:00 57 48 13 129 (SE) 359 clear none 03:00 57 47 6 135 (SE) 354 clear none 04:00 56 48 12 127 (SE) 320 clear none 05:00 55 49 6 157 (SSE) 276 mstly clr none 06:00 55 50 9 170 (S) mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
