During second half there was some clearing, but we had to close for a while due to high humidity. --------------- INSTRUMENT FOCUS LOG ---------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:50 GrIm2(f/5) -25(1333) 138 49 13.6/14.3 110 10 J 0.93 20:55 NA2gdr -2573(56426) 140 50 13.6/14.2 98 9 none 1.08 01:34 Echelle 5(262) 97 57 10.9/12.5 83 14 ND2 2.0 ------------- WEATHER CONDITIONS ------------ Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:01 58 36 8 164 (SSE) 453 mstly cldy none 19:01 57 39 6 109 (ESE) 317 ptly cldy none 20:01 56 38 14 110 (ESE) 407 ptly cldy none 21:01 56 36 11 113 (ESE) 903 mstly cldy none 22:01 57 35 7 116 (ESE) 1088 mstly cldy none 23:01 57 36 0 138 (SE) 985 mstly cldy none 00:01 55 36 14 77 (ENE) 904 mstly cldy none 01:01 52 44 13 88 (E) 892 ptly cldy none 02:01 50 46 13 73 (ENE) 1424 ptly cldy none 03:01 51 46 9 85 (E) 1453 mstly clr none 04:01 52 45 7 112 (ESE) 1353 mstly clr none 05:01 52 44 12 168 (SSE) 1343 mstly clr none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
