Cirrus in early AM, but too late to get open in time for science. When I filled the instruments this AM the echelle was again at 0 psi. The popoff valve was not frozen open as far as I could tell. I used the large dewar to re-pressurize. This needs to be checked regularly since it seems that it happens regularly now. --------------- 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 39 19 1 222 (SW) 307 cloudy none 17:01 36 18 2 228 (SW) 323 cloudy none 18:01 33 18 6 113 (ESE) 311 cloudy none 19:01 33 20 5 196 (SSW) 197 cloudy none 20:01 33 21 7 209 (SSW) 185 cloudy snow 21:01 33 19 18 231 (SW) 115 cloudy none 22:01 29 23 8 226 (SW) 235 cloudy none 23:01 29 21 18 214 (SW) 370 cloudy snow 00:01 29 20 16 179 (S) 412 cloudy none 01:01 31 18 15 160 (SSE) 439 cloudy none 02:01 34 20 17 189 (S) 331 cloudy none 03:01 34 19 21 179 (S) 371 cloudy snow 04:01 32 21 23 159 (SSE) 419 cloudy none 05:01 33 21 25 148 (SSE) 422 cloudy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
