Working fine now. WSMR was jamming the GPS clock, so Russet was going to cede the time to the first half, but they had no targets. She then tried APOLLO without having a GPS time sync. Good returns, hopefully useful without the GPS. No other problems 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:39 tcamera 510( 1621) 36 59 11.9 15.1 14.7 15.1 14.8 Ks 1.14 19:43 tcamera 385( 1416) -130 33 12.1 12.9 13.1 12.6 11.7 Ks 0.90 01:19 APOLLO 450( 1882) 70 56 10.9 10.6 11.2 10.6 10.8 -- 1.20 02:13 tcamera 446( 1325) 14 64 11.0 10.2 10.9 10.2 10.4 Ks 0.85 03:47 tcamera 430( 1291) 103 51 9.8 9.7 10.4 9.6 9.7 Ks 0.99 05:29 tcamera 401( 1222) 124 55 9.7 8.9 9.5 8.8 9.0 Ks 1.12 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 58 32 10 263 (W) 708 ptly cldy none 17:00 57 31 11 262 (W) 775 ptly cldy none 18:00 55 30 9 263 (W) 817 mstly clr none 19:00 54 31 10 231 (SW) 836 mstly clr none 20:00 54 31 12 228 (SW) 844 ptly cldy none 21:00 54 31 11 225 (SW) 958 ptly cldy none 22:00 53 31 11 230 (SW) 1121 ptly cldy none 23:00 53 31 13 220 (SW) 1173 ptly cldy none 00:00 52 31 12 225 (SW) 1832 ptly cldy none 01:00 53 31 11 222 (SW) 1034 ptly cldy none 02:00 52 31 16 221 (SW) 1513 ptly cldy none 03:00 51 31 13 222 (SW) 1860 ptly cldy none 04:00 50 31 12 231 (SW) 2221 ptly cldy none 05:00 48 31 12 232 (SW) 1534 ptly cldy none 06:00 51 27 10 258 (WSW) 1053 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
