We also had exciting adventures with ARCSAT during first half, which will require some more effort to get working. After that, the only challenge was varying high clouds. Candace came on shift for B half. And forgot to record the focus on the echelle. It was 1.06". Clouds continued but the wind hasn't hit yet... ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:14 ecamera 469( -135) 63 57 10.8 11.6 11.4 11.0 11.0 ND4 1.57 01:20 tcamera 432( 1078) -156 66 11.3 10.6 11.1 10.6 11.2 Ks 1.10 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 55 30 14 304 (NW) 611 ptly cldy none 17:00 56 28 5 267 (W) 705 ptly cldy none 18:00 54 30 9 308 (NW) 702 ptly cldy none 19:00 53 28 8 265 (W) 679 ptly cldy none 20:00 52 29 11 262 (W) 705 ptly cldy none 21:00 54 28 12 242 (WSW) 872 ptly cldy none 22:00 53 28 19 192 (SSW) 794 ptly cldy none 23:00 52 26 12 222 (SW) 1117 ptly cldy none 00:00 52 25 8 188 (S) 1069 mstly clr none 01:00 52 24 14 307 (NW) 997 mstly clr none 02:00 50 22 10 353 (N) 825 ptly cldy none 03:00 50 22 3 318 (NW) 727 mstly cldy none 04:00 50 21 11 323 (NW) 779 mstly cldy none 05:00 48 20 14 303 (WNW) 786 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
