Clouds rolled in just before 2am which made observing with Kosmos quite difficult. Clouds weren't going away any time soon, so we called it a night at 2:15am. Fills done at 3:30am. Echelle iol didn't work (negative numbers) this morning, so grafana will need to be edited. No major problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:15 ecamera 545( 320) 170 76 12.3 14.5 13.8 14.1 12.6 clear 0.99 22:01 ecamera 477( 133) -158 80 11.8 12.0 12.3 11.6 11.4 clear 0.97 01:27 klow 552( 1156) -78 66 11.3 10.8 11.4 10.8 11.0 -- 0.80 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 61 28 18 261 (W) 1555 ptly cldy none 17:00 61 28 12 240 (WSW) 1419 ptly cldy none 18:00 61 26 8 243 (WSW) 1329 ptly cldy none 19:00 56 24 6 265 (W) 1461 mstly clr none 20:00 54 24 5 256 (WSW) 1419 clear none 21:00 54 21 9 250 (WSW) 1724 clear none 22:00 53 21 14 237 (WSW) 1324 clear none 23:00 53 19 14 261 (W) 1360 clear none 00:00 53 18 14 261 (W) 1396 clear none 01:00 52 17 10 264 (W) 1302 clear none 02:00 52 14 11 267 (W) 907 ptly cldy none 03:00 52 16 14 275 (W) 1015 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
