They were taking a lot of data very fast with ARCTIC in 1x1 bin mode, which was producing some large files to transfer. No problems otherwise 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:45 arctic 398( 1048) 81 74 5.4 8.6 7.7 8.3 7.9 Semrock 0.78 18:47 NA2gdr -979(37020) 80 75 5.4 8.5 7.6 8.2 7.9 clear 0.94 02:54 dcamera 538( 842) 173 70 6.7 5.9 6.3 6.0 6.2 -- 0.90 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 26 9 293 (WNW) 705 clear none 17:00 47 27 7 277 (W) 733 clear none 18:00 44 25 6 273 (W) 629 clear none 19:00 42 22 2 323 (NW) 469 clear none 20:00 42 22 5 352 (N) 510 clear none 21:00 42 24 7 352 (N) 707 clear none 22:00 41 28 5 261 (W) 982 clear none 23:00 42 24 7 309 (NW) 877 clear none 00:00 43 21 10 305 (NW) 672 clear none 01:00 45 21 12 331 (NNW) 857 clear none 02:00 44 20 7 288 (WNW) 664 clear none 03:00 44 20 12 325 (NW) 570 clear none 04:00 45 20 8 303 (WNW) 728 clear none 05:00 44 22 7 352 (N) 742 clear none 06:00 43 26 6 339 (NNW) 899 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
