Unfortunately, ARCSAT got hung up very badly and wasn't able to recover even with help from Jack. But the 3.5m and echelle behaved pretty well, aside from one motion error at 20:36, slewing downward, stopped around 53 deg - this seems to be a recurring problem spot. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:43 ecamera 486( 374) 114 44 20.6 21.7 22.1 21.2 20.6 Clear 1.48 22:55 ecamera 477( 247) 113 70 20.0 19.6 20.3 19.3 19.2 Clear 1.10 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 76 34 12 263 (W) 1018 mstly clr none 17:00 77 34 24 254 (WSW) 894 mstly clr none 18:00 75 32 17 273 (W) 1027 mstly clr none 19:00 74 31 21 266 (W) 1050 clear none 20:00 70 28 14 253 (WSW) 1176 clear none 21:00 68 26 15 262 (W) 1095 clear none 22:00 68 26 11 262 (W) 1021 clear none 23:00 68 25 10 269 (W) 997 clear none 00:00 68 24 14 271 (W) 846 clear none 01:00 67 24 7 273 (W) 826 clear none 02:00 66 24 15 272 (W) 818 clear none 03:00 66 22 14 273 (W) 616 clear none 04:00 66 22 17 297 (WNW) 641 clear none 05:00 66 24 15 301 (WNW) 741 clear none 06:00 67 23 13 321 (NW) 892 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
