Will test this further. I did some low alt tracking test to check for drive hum this morning. Az 90 Alt 9, no humming heard. I parked at 10 deg for LANL and unmounted KOSMOS for them. Tertiary pointed at NA2. No telescope 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:51 AGILE 480( -690) 146 48 20.3 21.3 21.4 20.9 20.2 BG40 1.20 01:11 kosmos 459( 1299) -164 61 18.4 17.8 18.6 17.8 18.1 -- 1.21 02:11 ecamera 402( 174) 94 56 18.1 17.4 18.1 17.3 17.4 ND1 0.88 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 72 30 22 271 (W) 2159 ptly cldy none 17:00 76 32 27 266 (W) 2260 mstly cldy none 18:00 72 30 20 270 (W) 2548 cloudy none 19:00 70 28 22 287 (WNW) 3341 cloudy none 20:00 69 28 15 259 (W) 2663 ptly cldy none 21:00 68 29 18 256 (WSW) 2444 mstly clr none 22:00 67 30 16 249 (WSW) 2499 clear none 23:00 66 27 12 276 (W) 2568 mstly clr none 00:00 65 27 8 261 (W) 2728 clear none 01:00 65 28 8 262 (W) 2734 clear none 02:00 64 28 13 299 (WNW) 2476 clear none 03:00 63 30 12 312 (NW) 2557 clear none 04:00 64 31 15 298 (WNW) 2473 clear none 05:00 63 32 9 272 (W) 2721 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
