A hole broke and we tried to get something before it closed up, but it soon did. Heavy snows started at 23:30 MST with 41% humidity, and all time low for precip I think. The dome was closed and snow program was run. No other observing tonight. On a good note, the cloud camera is working well with the new vacuum. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG/INST FAILURE MODE TIME S/E/G/D/O TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:01 Echelle -46(575) 36 48 0.7/1.3 273 17 ND2 1.12 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 33 18 16 285 (WNW) 105 ptly cldy none 17:01 33 20 12 285 (WNW) 156 ptly cldy none 18:01 34 20 22 292 (WNW) 153 ptly cldy none 19:01 34 20 21 267 (W) 153 cloudy none 20:01 35 19 16 267 (W) 112 cloudy none 21:01 34 18 18 260 (W) 161 cloudy none 22:01 35 15 19 276 (W) 120 cloudy none 23:01 35 13 13 250 (WSW) 76 cloudy snow 00:01 35 13 13 284 (WNW) 79 cloudy snow 01:01 32 20 12 262 (W) 109 cloudy none 02:01 34 20 18 271 (W) 62 cloudy snow 03:01 34 18 18 253 (WSW) 76 cloudy snow 04:01 33 18 22 268 (W) 134 cloudy none 05:01 33 16 15 264 (W) 113 cloudy none 06:01 32 15 12 259 (W) 120 cloudy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
