They didn't catch this unti a few minutes later when we went on sky and saw the issue in their first science image. I restarted the echelle icc which fixed the issue. No other problems 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:55 tcamera 621( 1174) 123 81 10.0 7.7 7.2 7.6 5.4 Ks 0.97 19:37 ecamera 392( -384) -8 49 10.0 5.7 6.2 5.5 5.8 ND4 0.70 23:53 tcamera 428( 895) -13 63 10.0 5.7 6.1 5.8 5.9 Ks 1.11 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 11 263 (W) 1075 clear none 17:00 20 236 (SW) 994 clear none 18:00 11 220 (SW) 1054 clear none 19:00 12 256 (WSW) 888 clear none 20:00 16 228 (SW) 935 clear none 21:00 18 239 (WSW) 749 clear none 22:00 20 211 (SSW) 794 clear none 23:00 22 217 (SW) 939 mstly clr none 00:00 29 222 (SW) 1046 mstly clr none 01:00 24 228 (SW) 1113 ptly cldy none 02:00 19 239 (WSW) 1251 mstly clr none 03:00 18 257 (WSW) 970 ptly cldy none 04:00 15 253 (WSW) 888 ptly cldy none 05:00 23 260 (W) 943 ptly cldy none 06:00 18 256 (WSW) 930 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
