Restarting the Windows Parallels Desktop after this worked to get them back, but it froze a few minutes later (this time saying "Not Available" which did require power cycling dataq to fix. Mostly clear, a few thin clouds during A-half, but decent seeing! Low pollen counts all night. Telescope and instruments had no problems. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:47 kosmos 475( 1655) 237 66 16.8 17.7 18.0 17.2 16.9 -- 1.00 22:48 tcamera 369( 1655) -46 43 15.9 15.4 16.1 15.3 15.6 Ks 1.16 00:09 ecamera 410( 428) -170 43 15.6 15.0 15.7 15.0 15.1 Clear 0.95 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 71 18 23 263 (W) 1303 mstly clr none 17:00 71 19 27 259 (W) 1825 mstly clr none 18:00 69 19 25 266 (W) 2005 mstly clr none 19:00 67 17 20 259 (W) 1980 mstly clr none 20:00 64 13 14 264 (W) 1827 mstly clr none 21:00 63 10 19 268 (W) 1445 mstly clr none 22:00 62 10 15 264 (W) 1363 mstly clr none 23:00 60 9 13 268 (W) 1543 mstly clr none 00:00 61 9 12 266 (W) 1575 clear none 01:00 60 8 14 292 (WNW) 1326 clear none 02:00 59 9 10 276 (W) 1316 clear none 03:00 59 9 7 276 (W) 1395 mstly clr none 04:00 58 8 5 326 (NW) 1345 clear none 05:00 58 8 5 356 (N) 1162 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
