Sky cleared nicely at sunset and all was running smoothly. Craig worked on a minor bug in our 'gmonitor'. Seeing was extremely good first half. Switchover went smoothly. Textbook observing all night. ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:39 DIS Slit 100(???) -037 56 15.0/16.3 276 5 none 0.75" 01:06 DIS Slit 110(889) 217 51 13.4/13.5 282 10 none 1.01" 01:09 NA2 Gdr 1101(57099) 217 51 13.3/13.4 284 9 V 0.98" --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 67 49 14 274 (W) 213 clear none 17:01 64 46 10 257 (WSW) 209 clear none 18:01 63 45 7 244 (WSW) 192 clear none 19:01 58 43 7 270 (W) 238 clear none 20:01 57 44 7 261 (W) 261 clear none 21:01 57 45 7 251 (WSW) 277 clear none 22:01 55 45 12 244 (WSW) 317 clear none 23:01 57 44 10 263 (W) 348 clear none 00:01 57 43 8 244 (WSW) 320 clear none 01:01 56 43 6 273 (W) 287 clear none 02:01 55 43 10 295 (WNW) 307 clear none 03:01 55 42 11 289 (WNW) 267 clear none 04:01 55 42 10 315 (NW) 300 clear none 05:01 53 42 0 60 (ENE) 298 ptly cldy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
