Unfotrunately Amanda wasn't answering her phone (probably sleeping) but luckily I just happened to be in Alamogordo for the day so I was able to get to site around Sunset. Cary did evening fills. Russet's notes: I got the news later in the evening and came in after 11 pm. Torrie was starting to feel better, but I opted to continue working so I could do some APOLLO checks in the morning. Hopefully Torrie will be good for the next couple of nights. The night continued peaceful, with variable seeing that was a little better in the IR. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:21 ecamera 534( 322) -4 70 8.6 10.5 10.8 10.1 9.2 clear 1.41 20:56 ecamera 458( 187) -27 68 7.8 9.2 9.9 9.0 8.2 clear 1.54 23:32 ecamera 423( 32) -2 51 6.8 6.5 7.3 6.3 6.6 clear 2.29 01:29 NICFPS 285( 1357) 24 69 6.2 5.8 6.6 5.8 5.9 J 1.15 Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 57 30 1 212 (SSW) 1124 clear none 17:00 58 30 7 270 (W) 1116 clear none 18:00 53 24 2 195 (SSW) 1132 clear none 19:00 50 19 8 83 (E) 1012 mstly clr none 20:00 48 24 16 69 (ENE) 1079 mstly clr none 21:00 46 23 21 72 (ENE) 1082 clear none 22:00 45 25 12 88 (E) 1116 clear none 23:00 45 25 22 73 (ENE) 1220 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
