I completed these tasks, including a weather closure during the evening: axis restarts rotators zeroed (some trouble with Agile rotator) ARCTIC sky flat script checkout (almost there, needs some work) DIS focus and contamination check (red is somewhat worse, blue is... maybe better?) Collimation check (made a moderate change, will recheck after telescope settles) Pointing model (pointing is great!) APOLLO checkout (needs some work) The telescope and most instruments are ready to do. Agile rotator and DIS cart need some attention. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23:40 dcamera 366( 808) 48 56 13.8 14.2 14.6 14.0 13.5 - 1.24 23:59 dcamera 324( 760) 51 48 14.0 14.0 14.4 13.7 13.6 - 1.16 00:26 dcamera 361( 780) 43 52 13.8 13.7 14.1 13.4 13.4 - 1.11 02:32 shack 450( 1545) 58 62 13.3 12.7 13.2 12.6 12.9 - 1.40 03:18 guider 450( 977) 47 69 11.6 12.3 12.9 12.2 12.0 B 0.81 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 68 36 16 194 (SSW) 785 mstly clr none 17:00 70 35 17 208 (SSW) 710 mstly clr none 18:00 67 34 16 197 (SSW) 749 mstly clr none 19:00 65 32 12 212 (SSW) 680 mstly clr none 20:00 61 31 8 212 (SSW) 717 mstly clr none 21:00 58 31 9 179 (S) 740 mstly clr none 22:00 58 32 16 146 (SE) 756 ptly cldy none 23:00 57 32 6 351 (N) 925 mstly cldy none 00:00 57 32 8 1 (N) 805 mstly clr none 01:00 56 33 2 338 (NNW) 812 mstly clr none 02:00 56 32 9 323 (NW) 819 mstly clr none 03:00 54 32 7 269 (W) 873 mstly clr none 04:00 54 35 4 253 (WSW) 856 mstly clr none 05:00 54 40 8 202 (SSW) 660 clear none 06:00 52 24 8 220 (SW) 672 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
