The arctic diffuser is struggling to move into position while right-side up but we worked through it no problem tonight. Also, our first good weather night since the snow storm hit us! Seeing was good to excellent and we got a lot of good data! UW01 donated 20 min of their time to UW09. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:32 arctic 658( 670) 124 48 0.9 1.1 0.8 1.3 1.0 sdss-i 1.88 23:56 ecamera 420( -678) 251 43 2.2 0.8 1.6 1.1 1.6 Clear 0.87 01:38 ecamera 488( -600) 266 55 2.4 1.2 2.1 1.6 2.0 ND3 0.74 04:31 ecamera 460( -603) 124 30 2.9 1.3 2.2 1.5 2.0 Clear 1.30 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 35 0 3 14 (NNE) 369 clear none 17:00 34 9 18 354 (N) 233 clear none 18:00 33 5 15 16 (NNE) 204 clear none 19:00 34 8 13 19 (NNE) 219 clear none 20:00 35 11 16 0 (N) 191 clear none 21:00 35 13 8 9 (N) 194 clear none 22:00 36 15 16 3 (N) 175 clear none 23:00 37 16 11 357 (N) 186 clear none 00:00 36 15 12 346 (NNW) 174 clear none 01:00 36 14 3 348 (NNW) 175 clear none 02:00 38 14 13 307 (NW) 106 clear none 03:00 37 13 10 275 (W) 156 clear none 04:00 36 15 6 261 (W) 150 clear none 05:00 38 14 11 265 (W) 102 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
