The clouds were troublesome for most of the night, but seeing was decent and we didn't have to close back up. Dataq frozen before I arrived. Restarted at 21:20, still running as of 05:30 this morning. Alt drive is humming during test slews when stationary below about 12 alt. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:11 arctic 336( 1299) 104 61 18.3 19.4 19.4 19.1 17.9 SDSS_g 1.27 02:10 ecamera 464( 200) 136 73 16.9 16.9 17.4 16.9 16.9 Clear 0.86 04:03 ecamera 445( 143) 236 69 16.4 16.0 16.6 16.0 16.0 Clear 0.96 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 74 33 13 264 (W) 1455 ptly cldy none 17:00 74 34 27 283 (WNW) 1990 ptly cldy none 18:00 69 32 15 262 (W) 1299 ptly cldy none 19:00 67 32 18 263 (W) 1565 ptly cldy none 20:00 66 31 9 275 (W) 1920 ptly cldy none 21:00 65 32 14 267 (W) 1754 ptly cldy none 22:00 64 32 22 290 (WNW) 1363 ptly cldy none 23:00 65 32 16 273 (W) 1321 mstly cldy none 00:00 64 32 13 275 (W) 1266 mstly clr none 01:00 63 32 10 279 (W) 1300 ptly cldy none 02:00 63 32 11 281 (W) 1168 ptly cldy none 03:00 62 31 11 278 (W) 1107 ptly cldy none 04:00 61 31 12 314 (NW) 1090 mstly clr none 05:00 62 32 13 332 (NNW) 979 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
