The telescope was down all night. Some of that time was unusable anyway due to high winds. Observing Specialist, 2nd Shift: Camron Hastings Showed up to a broken telescope. I used the time for some of the many projects lingering in the background.... --------------- INSTRUMENT FOCUS LOG ---------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El #Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER CONDITIONS ------------ Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 48 5 14 186 (S) 202 cirrus none 17:01 45 7 16 182 (S) 208 cirrus none 18:01 44 11 20 178 (S) 177 cirrus none 19:01 46 9 23 195 (SSW) 198 cirrus none 20:01 47 9 25 171 (S) 181 cirrus none 21:01 45 17 25 167 (SSE) 209 cirrus none 22:01 46 17 26 180 (S) 238 mstly clr none 23:01 47 21 34 180 (S) 208 mstly clr none 00:01 45 24 25 205 (SSW) 212 mstly clr none 01:01 43 26 30 190 (S) 286 clear none 02:01 42 25 24 196 (SSW) 255 clear none 03:01 41 25 23 216 (SW) 272 clear none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
