Dembicky, R. McMillan (2nd half) The night started out mostly cloudy. Russet showed up around 00:10 and we finally opened and started shooting thru some holes around 00:50. Jon came in around 01:00. We started collimating the telescope (primary) around 01:30 and humidity closed us at 02:24 just before we were able to finish. More primary collimation will be needed before anything else. ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 57 46 10 79 (ENE) 207 Clouds none 17:01 56 46 16 53 (NE) 220 Clouds none 18:01 57 42 14 63 (ENE) 151 Clouds none 19:01 57 38 9 109 (ESE) 149 Clouds none 20:01 56 40 12 87 (E) 171 Clouds none 21:01 56 41 10 80 (E) 208 Clouds none 22:01 56 42 11 117 (ESE) 230 Clouds none 23:01 54 41 6 44 (NE) 257 Mst.
