Dembicky Mostly clear night with great seeing. Light cloud disrupted guiding briefly around 4am. Telescope worked flawlessly; "the pointing has been great tonight!" to quote the observer. More training for me, LN2 transfer and cranework with Jack. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:27 klow 575( 937) 136 54 4.9 5.5 5.4 5.2 4.8 gg455 0.72 20:31 kosmos 510( 810) -7 51 4.6 4.1 4.7 3.9 4.0 -- 1.03 00:00 ecamera 397( -347) 170 57 4.5 3.3 3.9 3.2 3.5 ND3 0.69 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 43 6 11 51 (NE) 583 mstly clr none 17:00 42 1 9 9 (N) 233 mstly clr none 18:00 42 -1 8 20 (NNE) 106 mstly clr none 19:00 39 2 15 324 (NW) 87 mstly clr none 20:00 42 1 17 308 (NW) 78 mstly clr none 21:00 40 4 15 315 (NW) 99 clear none 22:00 41 5 11 308 (NW) 90 clear none 23:00 39 2 7 260 (W) 121 clear none 00:00 40 4 12 266 (W) 135 mstly clr none 01:00 39 3 13 268 (W) 158 mstly clr none 02:00 39 6 9 293 (WNW) 289 mstly clr none 03:00 39 5 7 283 (WNW) 229 mstly clr none 04:00 40 4 13 309 (NW) 155 ptly cldy none 05:00 41 4 14 271 (W) 108 mstly clr none 06:00 41 2 16 312 (NW) 112 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
