Opened at 19:35. Beautiful weather all night. Dome/roof cam computer restarted on their own at checkout. All sky camera was also frozen, and computer was logged out. Restarted/logged back into everything and all was well. Arctic LL quad fully recovered by b-half! Yay! Users in a-half and b-half had issues of being kicked off TUI, though I stayed connected on ObsA the whole time. No 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:47 kimage 421( 1107) 33 49 10.8 12.3 11.9 12.3 11.0 -- 1.26 01:15 arctic 521( 1061) -25 51 9.4 9.2 9.8 9.1 9.2 BG40 0.98 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 56 45 26 231 (SW) 309 ptly cldy none 17:00 54 46 23 218 (SW) ptly cldy none 18:00 54 44 20 213 (SSW) mstly clr none 19:00 51 43 13 221 (SW) mstly clr none 20:00 52 43 18 211 (SSW) clear none 21:00 52 43 18 216 (SW) clear none 22:00 52 43 18 223 (SW) clear none 23:00 51 44 15 227 (SW) clear none 00:00 50 44 10 248 (WSW) clear none 01:00 49 40 8 262 (W) clear none 02:00 49 40 9 261 (W) clear none 03:00 49 40 14 235 (SW) clear none 04:00 48 38 14 219 (SW) clear none 05:00 47 39 16 224 (SW) clear none 06:00 46 39 13 237 (WSW) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
