Dust continued to hang around the limit and clouds moved back in near morning. I stayed open by switching fan configurations to bring dust in the dome down. No problems encountered, despite weather, all ran smoothly. Closed again early since seeing would not allow the lens program to continue and heavy clouds were approaching again from the west. ---------------- PROBLEM LOG ---------------- Time Problem/Fix PR# ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:30 DIS Slit -200(1069) -022 59 16.3/17.4 178 12 none 1.47" 00:33 NA2 Gdr -2000(----) -023 59 16.4/17.3 179 9 none 1.64" 02:01 DIS Slit 50(1267) 100 54 15.6/15.9 180 10 none 1.71" 04:16 SPIcam 30(----) 3 37 15.1/15.5 190 6 none 1.87" --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 72 45 13 275 (W) 2916 cloudy none 17:01 68 45 9 268 (W) 3056 cloudy none 18:01 64 44 0 241 (WSW) 3179 cloudy none 19:01 63 43 8 83 (E) 2821 cloudy none 20:01 63 42 4 159 (SSE) 3254 cloudy none 21:01 62 44 8 181 (S) 2961 ptly cldy none 22:01 61 44 12 163 (SSE) 3102 ptly cldy none 23:01 61 45 12 151 (SSE) 2286 mstly clr none 00:01 59 45 9 169 (SSE) 2630 mstly clr none 01:01 60 43 10 180 (S) 3428 mstly clr none 02:01 59 43 9 180 (S) 3038 mstly clr none 03:01 60 42 6 183 (S) 3057 mstly clr none 04:01 59 43 3 190 (S) 2268 ptly cldy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
