I got a motion error in Alt at 53.5 deg slewing downward. Axis init fixed the issue. My 2nd observer was a little late. I took the time to focus the telescope before they logged in, so we were ready to go when they logged in shortly afterwards. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:56 arctic 384( 460) 216 38 -1.7 0.2 -0.1 -0.1 -1.4 Semrock 0.99 17:57 NA2gdr 2499(36499) 216 38 -1.7 0.1 -0.2 -0.2 -1.6 clear 1.17 00:21 arctic 528( 508) -8 57 -1.9 -1.5 -1.4 -2.1 -1.9 SDSS_R 1.17 00:26 NA2gdr 2461(36461) -10 57 -2.0 -1.5 -1.4 -2.2 -2.0 clear 1.48 02:59 ecamera 450( -670) 295 61 -0.9 -1.5 -1.4 -2.2 -1.6 ND4 0.87 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 34 24 7 210 (SSW) 1449 mstly clr none 17:00 30 22 2 244 (WSW) 1305 mstly clr none 18:00 29 22 5 249 (WSW) 1248 mstly clr none 19:00 26 23 2 202 (SSW) mstly clr none 20:00 27 20 9 244 (WSW) 1292 mstly clr none 21:00 28 20 7 186 (S) 1367 mstly clr none 22:00 30 18 10 243 (WSW) 1369 mstly clr none 23:00 31 17 8 264 (W) 1222 mstly clr none 00:00 29 22 5 186 (S) 1349 mstly clr none 01:00 29 22 7 205 (SSW) 1289 mstly clr none 02:00 30 22 5 185 (S) 1367 mstly clr none 03:00 30 23 6 185 (S) 1343 mstly clr none 04:00 31 24 7 187 (S) 1303 ptly cldy none 05:00 32 25 6 184 (S) 1453 mstly cldy none 06:00 31 26 8 179 (S) 1606 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
