I cleaned all drive surfaces, including the dome tracks. I found water on the dome tracks from the rains. I cleaned out the instrument accessory cabinet. I created new nitrogen fill logs and new afternoon checklists for observing specialist use. Don York logged in and took calibration frames with the echelle. Nothing else of note occurred this evening. ****** OBSERVER COMMENTS ****** - NONE - --------------- INSTRUMENT FOCUS LOG ---------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El #Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" --------------------------------------------------------------------- NO FOCUS DATA ------------- WEATHER CONDITIONS ------------ Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 59 52 9 120 (ESE) 284 cloudy none 17:01 61 51 1 182 (S) 407 cloudy none 18:01 54 51 26 126 (SE) 475 cloudy none 19:01 56 45 23 148 (SSE) 118 cloudy none 20:01 58 43 17 149 (SSE) 126 cloudy rain 21:01 58 44 15 180 (S) 375 cloudy none 22:01 57 45 11 178 (S) 513 cloudy none 23:01 57 47 17 141 (SE) 680 cloudy rain 00:01 57 48 11 152 (SSE) 930 cloudy none 01:01 57 49 12 142 (SE) 1081 cloudy none 02:01 57 48 10 127 (SE) 996 cloudy none 03:01 54 49 7 106 (ESE) 932 cloudy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
