We didn't open. ARCTIC filter wheel (fw5) had same homing problem as a few weeks ago, added to PR2180. Switched to fw2 which did home (and identify wheel) correctly. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 26 1 9 328 (NNW) clear none 17:00 28 4 11 341 (NNW) clear none 18:00 27 4 7 350 (N) clear none 19:00 27 6 21 322 (NW) clear none 20:00 27 7 9 330 (NNW) clear none 21:00 28 8 18 305 (NW) clear none 22:00 29 10 16 304 (NW) clear none 23:00 27 8 10 312 (NW) clear none 00:00 26 8 12 322 (NW) clear none 01:00 27 10 16 320 (NW) clear none 02:00 26 10 15 322 (NW) mstly clr none 03:00 26 11 13 275 (W) mstly clr none 04:00 28 10 2 48 (NE) mstly clr none 05:00 27 9 5 351 (N) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
