Short echelle fill this morning (238). No telescope or instrument problems. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:46 tcamera 246( 1400) 159 62 13.7 17.1 17.0 17.2 14.3 Ks 1.14 22:58 tcamera 552( 1583) 129 36 13.2 14.1 14.5 13.6 13.1 Ks 1.20 01:17 ecamera 477( 159) 356 35 12.3 11.9 12.7 11.8 11.9 ND2 1.24 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 21 17 265 (W) 1362 ptly cldy none 17:00 69 23 19 256 (WSW) 1369 ptly cldy none 18:00 69 21 14 247 (WSW) 1434 ptly cldy none 19:00 65 19 15 224 (SW) 1345 ptly cldy none 20:00 61 18 9 254 (WSW) 1402 mstly clr none 21:00 59 19 7 190 (S) 1387 clear none 22:00 56 27 15 114 (ESE) 1740 clear none 23:00 56 31 14 98 (E) 1614 clear none 00:00 54 31 12 92 (E) 1539 clear none 01:00 54 31 17 112 (ESE) 1548 mstly clr none 02:00 55 31 19 111 (ESE) 1470 mstly clr none 03:00 54 33 23 126 (SE) 1624 ptly cldy none 04:00 54 33 22 126 (SE) 1429 mstly cldy none 05:00 54 32 22 135 (SE) 1153 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
