Some variable seeing but never too horrible. Everything worked well. I changed the zeropoint focus values for Tspec and NICFPS after tonight's measurement. Hopefully they will be in better agreement with other instruments now. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- FAILURE MODE TIME PROG INSTR TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:47 tcamera 547( 671) 62 44 0.1 2.4 2.2 2.6 0.7 Ks 1.24 19:52 ecamera 334( -803) 81 47 0.5 0.1 0.6 -0.1 0.1 ND2 1.32 00:22 dcamera 446( 207) 48 64 0.2 -0.2 0.4 -0.2 -0.2 - 1.20 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 36 21 6 354 (N) 144 mstly clr none 17:00 33 17 13 6 (N) 122 mstly clr none 18:00 32 16 4 330 (NNW) 131 mstly clr none 19:00 32 16 7 11 (N) 112 mstly clr none 20:00 33 18 18 357 (N) 149 mstly clr none 21:00 32 19 9 10 (N) 155 mstly clr none 22:00 33 20 14 23 (NNE) 147 clear none 23:00 33 20 17 8 (N) 138 clear none 00:00 32 20 16 11 (N) 138 clear none 01:00 31 22 6 4 (N) 147 clear none 02:00 31 20 14 11 (N) 199 clear none 03:00 31 21 12 7 (N) 179 clear none 04:00 32 21 6 3 (N) 136 clear none 05:00 33 18 14 346 (NNW) 90 clear none 06:00 33 18 13 334 (NNW) 100 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
