It finally dropped around 21:30 and we opened shortly after. My 2nd half observer noted that the image was off about 6" (26 pixels) in the ARCTIC field. I didn't notice anything on the telescope end out of the ordinary and not sure if it was just due to slight pointing error. No telescope issues tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:55 arctic 312( 1103) 61 76 9.6 11.6 12.4 11.5 11.1 SDSS_r 1.88 21:57 NA2gdr 1998(35998) 59 76 9.6 11.5 12.3 11.4 11.0 clear 1.75 01:13 arctic 379( 968) -85 58 7.5 7.2 8.0 7.0 7.2 SDSS_g 1.86 01:14 NA2gdr 2531(36531) -86 58 7.5 7.2 8.0 7.0 7.2 clear 1.86 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 59 15 22 258 (WSW) 5644 clear dust 17:00 59 10 30 259 (W) 5453 clear dust 18:00 57 6 20 258 (WSW) 5395 clear dust 19:00 56 5 22 249 (WSW) 5932 clear dust 20:00 52 6 25 245 (WSW) 5339 ptly cldy dust 21:00 51 5 9 291 (WNW) 6445 clear dust 22:00 49 4 16 15 (NNE) 2493 clear none 23:00 47 5 11 19 (NNE) 2006 clear none 00:00 46 6 15 13 (NNE) 1999 clear none 01:00 45 6 15 2 (N) 1267 clear none 02:00 45 6 13 10 (N) 1470 clear none 03:00 44 7 17 18 (NNE) 1477 clear none 04:00 44 7 14 6 (N) 1533 clear none 05:00 41 6 15 2 (N) 1442 clear none 06:00 42 4 8 6 (N) 1727 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
