Basically, computer was restarted since ACP was acting up multiple times, and then the computer failed to boot back into Windows. NM05 was delayed by flights, so donated some time to NM08 who took the first hour of B-half. Otherwise night went smoothly, no telescope or instrument issues to report. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:09 tcamera 692( 1582) 55 60 9.9 11.6 10.9 11.7 10.0 Ks 1.22 21:18 tcamera 550( 1377) 22 69 10.1 10.2 10.3 9.9 9.8 Ks 0.93 22:42 tcamera 542( 1334) -35 67 9.9 9.5 9.9 9.4 9.6 Ks 0.99 01:15 ecamera 508( 25) 1 41 8.8 8.6 9.3 8.5 8.4 Clear 1.12 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 53 9 21 227 (SW) 3029 clear none 17:00 54 8 22 253 (WSW) 3690 clear none 18:00 55 12 23 268 (W) 3617 clear none 19:00 53 14 20 264 (W) 3119 clear none 20:00 50 13 12 262 (W) 3065 clear none 21:00 50 13 15 243 (WSW) 3003 clear none 22:00 50 11 16 263 (W) 3116 clear none 23:00 50 10 14 255 (WSW) 3275 clear none 00:00 50 7 16 263 (W) 3394 clear none 01:00 48 6 18 248 (WSW) 3427 clear none 02:00 48 7 17 259 (W) 3376 clear none 03:00 47 6 13 273 (W) 2853 mstly clr none 04:00 46 7 13 283 (WNW) 2970 mstly clr none 05:00 45 6 18 263 (W) 2624 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
