All ran smoothly given the standard visiting instrument surprises. Although we had mostly cloudy skies it was mainly cirrus so we did get a lot of useful data through it. Seeing was exceptional through the cirrus as well with us arguably obtaining perhaps some images UNDER 0.50"! :) Second half remained cloudy, but cleared after 3am and we continued to get data without any troubles. ---------------- PROBLEM LOG ---------------- Time Problem/Fix PR# ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:20 FTS +050(1204) 85 77 18.0/18.0 108 7 block 0.56" --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 61 41 15 72 (ENE) 382 cloudy none 17:01 62 39 17 68 (ENE) 348 cloudy none 18:01 63 42 15 65 (ENE) 552 cloudy none 19:01 63 42 9 86 (E) 557 cloudy none 20:01 63 42 8 86 (E) 674 cloudy none 21:01 64 41 4 109 (ESE) 730 cloudy none 22:01 65 40 1 114 (ESE) 745 cloudy none 23:01 63 40 6 116 (ESE) 692 cloudy none 00:01 63 41 4 106 (ESE) 839 cloudy none 01:01 63 41 4 126 (SE) 870 cloudy none 02:01 63 40 3 107 (ESE) 732 cloudy none 03:01 62 40 2 127 (SE) 783 ptly cldy none 04:01 62 40 2 87 (E) 777 clear none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
