Continuing clear night with better seeing and humidity in B half. Restarted Dataq to get it online again at the beginning of the night. OU03 finished a little early and donated their remaining time to JH04. Difference between Sec A 'des enc' and 'cmd' differ by approx 1000000 counts, 'des enc' and 'enc' are still very close and we're not recieving any collimation errors. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:03 NICFPS 572( 1158) 148 28 -1.2 1.2 1.6 2.8 -0.8 MK-J 1.97 18:34 NA2gdr 51638(51638) 138 37 -1.4 0.1 0.4 -0.4 -1.6 Clear 1.97 22:08 NICFPS 488( 904) 142 63 -2.1 -1.8 -1.9 -3.1 -2.3 MK-J 3.08 00:05 ecamera 418( -579) 253 68 -2.0 -2.0 -2.2 -3.1 -2.6 Clear 0.87 03:31 ecamera 508( -423) 184 45 2.9 -0.8 -0.2 -1.3 1.4 Clear 1.39 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 35 22 6 271 (W) 1084 clear none 17:00 34 22 8 306 (NW) 1063 clear none 18:00 30 20 6 6 (N) 1199 clear none 19:00 29 18 7 73 (ENE) 602 clear none 20:00 29 20 1 333 (NNW) clear none 21:00 29 19 6 19 (NNE) clear none 22:00 29 19 1 254 (WSW) 1118 clear none 23:00 28 18 1 236 (SW) clear none 00:00 28 17 6 327 (NNW) clear none 01:00 33 7 7 343 (NNW) 559 clear none 02:00 31 4 5 357 (N) 494 clear none 03:00 34 -1 3 344 (NNW) 350 clear none 04:00 36 -11 1 161 (SSE) 283 clear none 05:00 38 -14 6 92 (E) 152 clear none 06:00 38 -12 1 188 (S) 65 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
