Stayed closed until just before midnight. Closed at 1:20am due to rising humidity and finishing all possible on sky tasks. Optidew sensor is stuck reading really high. Thanks Jack for helping out with beginning of the night tasks! Engineering tasks completed: - ecam focus and new mask - learned to do apollo planning/proposal and drafted a possible AP01 Q1 proposal - transferring Russet's Apollo guide to the wiki - checked pointing on na2, na1, bc1 and did tertiary tilts where needed ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 51 41 12 216 (SW) 284 ptly cldy none 17:00 52 42 9 208 (SSW) 301 ptly cldy none 18:00 49 43 11 192 (SSW) ptly cldy humid 19:00 47 42 11 185 (S) ptly cldy humid 20:00 46 42 12 185 (S) clear humid 21:00 46 41 11 188 (S) clear humid 22:00 46 40 12 185 (S) clear humid 23:00 46 36 12 194 (SSW) clear none 00:00 47 36 11 196 (SSW) 370 clear none 01:00 46 39 12 197 (SSW) clear humid 02:00 46 36 9 213 (SSW) clear humid 03:00 46 33 11 210 (SSW) 483 clear none 04:00 45 36 12 241 (WSW) 548 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
