We did not open the dome. There was some light rain during the second half of the night. Engineering Tasks: - Power cycled gcamera, and had to do a hub startNubs gcam + gcam init to get it to take images again. - Took multiple sets of blue DIS BrQtz pinhole images for recovery characterization. - And we checked the DIS slit masks, which were okay so we didn't adjust them. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 61 34 11 229 (SW) 1281 cloudy none 17:00 63 36 8 217 (SW) 1291 cloudy none 18:00 59 33 7 231 (SW) 1296 cloudy none 19:00 57 34 9 231 (SW) 1400 cloudy none 20:00 56 33 6 210 (SSW) 1392 cloudy none 21:00 57 33 10 183 (S) 1452 cloudy none 22:00 56 34 13 185 (S) 1173 cloudy none 23:00 53 40 7 184 (S) 2873 cloudy none 00:00 53 39 7 133 (SE) 2934 cloudy none 01:00 53 37 9 218 (SW) 2172 cloudy lt rain 02:00 53 35 9 219 (SW) 1545 cloudy lt rain 03:00 50 41 1 339 (NNW) 3052 cloudy lt rain 04:00 52 36 5 262 (W) 1382 cloudy lt rain 05:00 50 39 2 341 (NNW) 2617 cloudy lt rain 06:00 50 38 11 199 (SSW) 1099 cloudy lt rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
