TUI on ObsA crashed hard and required a kill command from a separate terminal, which is accounted as equipment time loss. Pollen ranged from 20 to 75. No other issues. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- FAILURE MODE TIME PROG INSTR TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UW05 R T/S 2:50 3:10 TUI on ObsA crashed (email sent to Shane & Gordon) ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02:23 arctic 225( 1041) -23 40 8.3 8.5 9.3 8.3 8.5 CUVR 1.30 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 54 17 15 294 (WNW) 1161 mstly clr none 17:00 56 17 13 286 (WNW) 1097 mstly clr none 18:00 54 13 15 295 (WNW) 1035 ptly cldy none 19:00 54 13 15 279 (W) 1027 mstly cldy none 20:00 52 14 12 274 (W) 943 mstly cldy none 21:00 51 17 16 251 (WSW) 1193 mstly cldy rain 22:00 50 19 10 324 (NW) 1636 ptly cldy dust 23:00 49 22 7 319 (NW) 3200 mstly cldy none 00:00 49 24 12 4 (N) 1018 mstly cldy none 01:00 47 25 1 237 (WSW) 1165 mstly cldy none 02:00 48 24 5 346 (NNW) 870 mstly clr none 03:00 48 24 5 357 (N) 923 clear none 04:00 48 25 12 357 (N) 895 clear none 05:00 47 24 6 337 (NNW) 837 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
