I coaxed him out and then found two more of his friends near the door going into the ops building. I opened the door to let them out but they want to fly up instead of down and out. Apparently birds don't understand doors. At least they have enough moths to keep them fed while in the building. I left the door open and left the corridor and when I went back in I think the birds figured out the door, as they appeared to be gone. No telescope issues tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:24 arctic 577( 1355) 64 66 15.5 17.7 18.1 17.2 15.9 SDSS_r 1.35 20:26 NA2gdr 4411(38411) 64 66 15.5 17.6 18.0 17.2 15.9 clear 1.49 21:33 arctic 472( 1198) 26 31 15.0 16.0 16.6 15.4 15.1 SDSS_r 1.70 01:19 arctic 481( 1128) -36 52 15.8 14.7 15.2 14.6 15.6 J-C_B 1.50 01:20 NA2gdr 817(34817) -36 52 15.8 14.7 15.3 14.7 15.5 clear 1.96 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 66 32 6 148 (SSE) 885 ptly cldy none 17:00 67 32 5 57 (ENE) 1002 ptly cldy none 18:00 66 31 4 117 (ESE) 887 mstly clr none 19:00 65 31 2 136 (SE) 868 clear none 20:00 61 31 12 87 (E) 1063 clear none 21:00 59 31 18 78 (ENE) 896 clear none 22:00 58 31 16 88 (E) 906 clear none 23:00 59 31 21 73 (ENE) 896 clear none 00:00 58 31 16 79 (E) 939 clear none 01:00 61 31 13 62 (ENE) 974 clear none 02:00 60 31 10 359 (N) 984 clear none 03:00 57 31 1 292 (WNW) 1002 clear none 04:00 57 31 6 319 (NW) 963 clear none 05:00 55 30 0 146 (SE) 933 clear none 06:00 57 32 5 350 (N) 973 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
