At checkout, gcam needed a startNubs, and then again in the morning when I used it to check the sky; we had a little trouble with pointing that might have been due to offsets. Temperatures between 15 and 10C, humidity rose from 10% to almost 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:19 dssi 460( 1491) -38 79 10.0 14.7 15.0 14.2 13.8 692 0.70 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 15 189 (S) 918 clear none 17:00 11 230 (SW) 1023 clear none 18:00 20 236 (SW) 1044 clear none 19:00 17 190 (S) 985 clear none 20:00 11 235 (SW) 999 clear none 21:00 14 222 (SW) 910 clear none 22:00 12 233 (SW) 847 clear none 23:00 10 233 (SW) 953 clear none 00:00 11 252 (WSW) 1041 clear none 01:00 8 261 (W) 1160 clear none 02:00 7 260 (W) 1344 clear none 03:00 7 265 (W) 1349 clear none 04:00 7 277 (W) 1352 clear none 05:00 7 275 (W) 1344 clear none 06:00 9 316 (NW) 1315 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
