We had pretty good seeing and only a few thin clouds, and no other instrument or telescope problems. Temperatures were mostly a few degrees above 0C, humidity around 10-20%. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:39 tcamera 519( 891) -57 49 10.0 3.5 3.5 3.3 2.2 Ks 0.96 20:23 ecamera 483( -495) -177 42 10.0 1.2 2.4 1.9 2.0 ND3 0.72 01:45 ecamera 429( -567) 127 38 10.0 0.8 1.8 1.0 1.6 Clear 1.22 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 9 283 (WNW) 351 mstly clr none 17:00 12 265 (W) 410 mstly clr none 18:00 7 259 (W) 357 mstly clr none 19:00 12 267 (W) 313 clear none 20:00 13 257 (WSW) 379 clear none 21:00 11 242 (WSW) 521 clear none 22:00 12 243 (WSW) 550 mstly clr none 23:00 10 237 (WSW) 620 mstly clr none 00:00 11 266 (W) 365 mstly clr none 01:00 9 257 (WSW) 458 ptly cldy none 02:00 9 266 (W) 428 mstly clr none 03:00 9 237 (WSW) 440 clear none 04:00 11 256 (WSW) 302 clear none 05:00 11 262 (W) 484 clear none 06:00 16 272 (W) 555 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
