Battled some cloud for a lot of A-half. B-half mostly clear but with some light cloud rolling in by the end which forced us to stop observing science targets (which were dim and low). Motion error at 53deg slewing down. Reinitialising axes fixed it and it didn't pop up again. Otherwise instruments were well behaved. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:57 klow 465( 1565) 157 70 19.8 21.4 21.0 21.3 19.9 -- 1.75 01:17 kosmos 340( 1213) 256 71 16.9 16.6 17.2 16.4 16.6 -- 1.28 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 71 45 7 183 (S) 1636 ptly cldy rain 17:00 76 46 2 179 (S) 1632 ptly cldy none 18:00 73 44 11 239 (WSW) 1672 ptly cldy none 19:00 72 43 10 216 (SW) 1964 mstly cldy none 20:00 68 43 2 174 (S) 1671 mstly cldy none 21:00 67 39 11 155 (SSE) 1819 ptly cldy none 22:00 64 39 12 113 (ESE) 2115 mstly clr none 23:00 63 39 14 113 (ESE) 2441 mstly clr none 00:00 64 39 17 136 (SE) 2428 clear none 01:00 63 43 20 142 (SE) 2481 clear none 02:00 63 44 18 145 (SE) 2535 clear none 03:00 62 43 16 157 (SSE) 2235 clear none 04:00 62 43 15 188 (S) 2290 mstly clr none 05:00 61 43 12 187 (S) 2580 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
