We had intermittently thick-and-thinner clouds for all of A-half and part of B-half, most of which we were able to punch through, but we had fairly clear skies for a few hours at the end of the night. I set KOSMOS camfocus to 2980 for the slightly warmer temperatures tonight, though the temperature wasn’t very stable. We didn't have trouble with the KOSMOS slitviewer shutter tonight and were able to use it for target acquisition and guiding, but the temperature was above 0C until early morning when the enclosure temp just barely reached 0. Telescope is strapped to the floor to park it. Happy Lunar New Year! ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:24 AGILE 450(-1428) 88 64 1.6 2.2 3.2 2.6 2.7 BG40 1.10 00:30 kcamera 300( 578) -17 59 2.3 1.6 3.1 2.7 2.4 -- 1.74 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 42 -10 11 15 (NNE) 90 mstly clr none 17:00 39 -8 10 10 (N) 133 ptly cldy none 18:00 35 3 11 325 (NW) 316 ptly cldy none 19:00 36 -2 9 324 (NW) 115 mstly clr none 20:00 35 6 14 304 (NW) 142 ptly cldy none 21:00 36 9 12 277 (W) 188 mstly cldy none 22:00 36 9 8 262 (W) 276 ptly cldy none 23:00 37 7 11 261 (W) 234 mstly clr none 00:00 39 5 13 268 (W) 177 mstly clr none 01:00 38 5 12 265 (W) 174 mstly clr none 02:00 35 8 11 280 (W) 239 mstly clr none 03:00 34 10 11 269 (W) 316 clear none 04:00 33 11 10 269 (W) 310 clear none 05:00 34 2 10 293 (WNW) 226 clear none 06:00 34 5 11 288 (WNW) 196 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
