So far, so good! The first However, they were not able to get on sky due to clouds and rain most of A half along with some dust. For engineering we ran an implemented a 50pt pointing. The echelle pointing was off but consistent so we were able to make a correction in the echtilt and pointing was much better. However, when switching the tertiary to the echelle to test the pointing, the tertiary failed to move from NA2 to NA1 "020-07-14 08:24:47 .telmech.0 0 telmech w RawLine="?LMSTOP clamp failed to fully close\"" Moving from NA2 to BC1 and then NA1 was fine. With the pointing model done we did some pick up science on Venus for the last two hours and were able to get some good data. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 NA2gdr 17644(47644) 83 76 20.1 21.3 22.2 20.7 19.8 B 1.02 03:01 NA2gdr 17644(47644) 171 66 18.4 19.1 20.0 18.8 18.6 ND3 1.12 03:48 NA2gdr 17644(47644) 187 66 17.7 18.4 19.4 18.2 17.8 ND3 0.80 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 82 36 8 262 (W) 1417 mstly cldy none 17:00 82 38 16 219 (SW) 1286 mstly cldy none 18:00 77 36 8 192 (SSW) 1166 mstly cldy rain 19:00 76 40 14 263 (W) 1109 cloudy lt rain 20:00 70 40 5 2 (N) 1663 cloudy dust 21:00 66 41 3 348 (NNW) 11045 ptly cldy dust 22:00 67 39 13 8 (N) 2496 ptly cldy none 23:00 68 38 6 1 (N) 1213 mstly clr none 00:00 68 37 14 12 (NNE) 627 mstly clr none 01:00 68 37 6 292 (WNW) 786 mstly clr none 02:00 67 38 8 305 (NW) 906 mstly clr none 03:00 65 37 7 311 (NW) 723 mstly clr none 04:00 64 38 15 321 (NW) 612 mstly clr none 05:00 63 38 6 357 (N) 621 mstly clr none 06:00 64 38 6 2 (N) 789 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
