Chris Mallouris was the observer for UC02. The site was on generator power for a couple hours in the afternoon. Cloudy weather kept the telescope closed almost all night. I opened shortly before the start of twilight under somewhat windy conditions. *The DIS PC was unable to write images to tycho. This may be a side effect of some services being shut down on tycho. - Karen OBSERVER COMMENTS FOCUS LOG OCTOBER 4 1998 Best Telescope Wind Seeing Time Inst Focus Az El #Temp Dir MPH filter FWHM " #The first temp is air, the second is truss, both in degrees Celsius WEATHER OCTOBER 4 1998 Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Precip. 16:01 55 36 26 271 (W) - cloudy none 17:01 54 38 24 246 (WSW) - cloudy none 18:01 53 38 20 261 (W) - cloudy none 19:01 53 38 20 260 (W) - cloudy none 20:01 52 38 20 262 (W) - cloudy none 21:01 52 38 13 276 (W) - cloudy none 22:01 51 38 13 274 (W) - cloudy none 23:01 51 39 17 267 (W) - cloudy none 00:01 50 39 14 262 (W) - cloudy none 01:01 49 40 17 264 (W) - cloudy none 02:01 48 39 27 264 (W) - cloudy none 03:01 47 37 26 281 (W) - cloudy none 04:01 45 35 12 271 (W) - cloudy none 05:01 44 34 28 285 (WNW) - ptly cldy none 06:01 44 30 18 267 (W) - clear none 07:01 42 32 14 266 (W) - clear none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
