Both programs had a productive night of observing. One of the instrument UPSes reported a fault during second half, but there was no drop of power and the attached instruments appear to be fine. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:35 tcamera 481( 1082) 45 38 2.4 4.9 4.9 5.1 2.6 1.27 00:19 tcamera 504( 911) -139 51 2.9 1.1 2.3 1.7 2.4 Ks 1.06 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 39 -1 17 323 (NW) 174 clear none 17:00 38 -1 15 301 (WNW) 173 clear none 18:00 36 -4 11 303 (WNW) 266 clear none 19:00 37 -4 19 317 (NW) 256 clear none 20:00 37 -4 17 337 (NNW) 278 clear none 21:00 37 -4 13 350 (N) 193 clear none 22:00 36 -5 12 11 (N) 171 clear none 23:00 36 -5 15 29 (NNE) 112 clear none 00:00 36 -5 19 9 (N) 95 mstly clr none 01:00 36 -4 11 7 (N) 92 mstly clr none 02:00 39 -2 21 23 (NNE) 80 mstly clr none 03:00 42 -1 13 14 (NNE) 68 mstly clr none 04:00 41 -2 13 24 (NNE) 67 mstly clr none 05:00 42 -1 1 266 (W) 43 mstly clr none 06:00 46 3 5 96 (E) 26 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
