Seems to be fine now. See PR 2229. Opened the dome at 5:58pm as cals were being taken at start of night. OU03 finished on science a few minutes before their time ended, so those ten minutes were given to JH01. Closed the dome at 6:48am since it was too bright to get any data. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:12 kosmos 388( 884) 6 63 3.8 4.2 4.8 4.1 3.7 -- 1.11 21:07 kosmos 338( 790) -25 51 3.6 3.1 3.8 3.2 3.4 -- 1.16 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 40 6 9 185 (S) 839 ptly cldy none 17:00 38 5 12 214 (SW) 764 mstly clr none 18:00 38 5 16 244 (WSW) 718 mstly clr none 19:00 38 4 18 234 (SW) 651 mstly clr none 20:00 39 3 18 263 (W) 572 mstly clr none 21:00 39 -1 16 267 (W) 403 mstly clr none 22:00 38 -1 15 263 (W) 334 ptly cldy none 23:00 38 -1 19 285 (WNW) 330 ptly cldy none 00:00 37 0 11 278 (W) 350 mstly clr none 01:00 38 3 12 272 (W) 470 clear none 02:00 38 1 10 286 (WNW) 377 clear none 03:00 37 0 11 308 (NW) 374 clear none 04:00 38 -3 13 325 (NW) 279 clear none 05:00 37 -6 16 329 (NNW) 236 clear none 06:00 37 -9 11 314 (NW) 230 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
