The wind picked up during 2nd half of the night. I had to advise my observer to not point at targets in the N as it was upsetting the telescope & mirror. I remapped gcam due to all the resets we had done the past couple of nights. No echelle IOL taken at the end of night due to observer using instrument for cals. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:36 tcamera 411( 676) 110 52 0.6 2.3 2.8 2.5 1.1 Ks 0.96 00:08 APOLLO 500( 1150) 93 23 0.5 0.5 1.1 0.7 0.6 -- 2.50 01:15 ecamera 458( -696) 120 59 -0.2 -0.1 0.5 -0.1 -0.2 ND1 1.29 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 35 -5 12 312 (NW) 226 ptly cldy none 17:00 33 -4 17 306 (NW) 201 ptly cldy none 18:00 32 4 16 295 (WNW) 197 mstly clr none 19:00 33 5 22 297 (WNW) 276 clear none 20:00 31 6 12 286 (WNW) 285 clear none 21:00 33 7 12 303 (WNW) 246 clear none 22:00 32 6 18 316 (NW) 268 clear none 23:00 34 7 8 322 (NW) 243 clear none 00:00 33 4 17 9 (N) 161 clear none 01:00 32 4 23 357 (N) 196 clear none 02:00 32 6 29 7 (N) 234 clear none 03:00 35 6 34 17 (NNE) 220 clear none 04:00 35 18 30 10 (N) 55 clear none 05:00 37 15 31 21 (NNE) 55 clear none 06:00 41 14 20 19 (NNE) 52 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
