Once open all ran smoothly with scattered clouds and average seeing. We stayed open all night, but clouds got pretty thick after 04:00, although we managed to get some data. The seeing became very good though, around 0.7". ---------------- PROBLEM LOG ---------------- Time Problem/Fix PR# ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 23:45 DIS Slit -330(1006) 240 38 15.7/16.8 162 11 none 1.62" 01:25 DIS Slit -130(1052) 111 52 14.4/14.8 177 9 none 1.47" 01:28 NA2 Gdr -2728(----) 114 55 14.4/14.8 179 12 none 1.17" --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 71 40 16 84 (E) 2362 ptly cldy none 17:01 69 38 12 109 (ESE) 1923 ptly cldy none 18:01 69 37 21 131 (SE) 2133 ptly cldy none 19:01 60 45 13 170 (S) 4816 ptly cldy none 20:01 58 47 17 128 (SE) 5148 clear none 21:01 58 42 16 124 (SE) 2898 clear none 22:01 59 42 15 149 (SSE) 3212 clear none 23:01 59 41 9 179 (S) 2478 clear none 00:01 57 41 11 177 (S) 1452 clear none 01:01 58 41 8 179 (S) 1422 ptly cldy none 02:01 56 41 9 181 (S) 1616 ptly cldy none 03:01 55 41 8 240 (WSW) 1329 mstly cldy none 04:01 57 42 2 199 (SSW) 1565 cloudy none 05:01 57 42 4 221 (SW) 3144 cloudy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
