At checkout, the nicfps image was all black; nicfps expose init brought it back. Training with ARCTIC went pretty smoothly. Seeing wasn't very stable but we had pretty clear sky after the storm clouds from this afternoon dispersed. Sadly we only ended up getting a few raindrops. ------- 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 ecamera 488( 530) 129 62 19.6 23.2 22.7 23.8 20.7 ND2 1.31 00:40 arctic 429( 1270) 38 73 17.2 17.0 17.7 16.9 16.9 SDSS_i 1.64 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 82 42 12 219 (SW) 1378 ptly cldy none 17:00 72 49 7 196 (SSW) 1262 mstly cldy none 18:00 71 47 12 155 (SSE) 1138 mstly cldy none 19:00 71 45 9 183 (S) 1271 mstly cldy lt rain 20:00 68 46 8 132 (SE) 1200 mstly clr none 21:00 67 48 13 146 (SE) 1306 clear none 22:00 66 50 22 140 (SE) 1710 clear none 23:00 63 50 21 138 (SE) 1840 clear none 00:00 62 52 20 143 (SE) 1929 clear none 01:00 64 50 24 163 (SSE) 1804 clear none 02:00 64 50 21 165 (SSE) 1619 clear none 03:00 64 49 18 199 (SSW) 1320 clear none 04:00 64 49 18 183 (S) 1324 clear none 05:00 63 48 17 198 (SSW) 1280 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
