All systems started and ran normally (except for a REMARK bug, email was sent to Bob Lowenstein) Sky conditions were excellent until about 3am when random clouds wandered through. Nothing too bad, and seeing was great all night though. ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:49 DIS Slit 0(971) 283 54 16.4/18.1 325 6 - 0.91" 19:54 NA2 Gdr 500(56502) 283 53 16.4/18.0 296 3 V 0.83" 23:07 DIS Slit 60(945) 184 52 16.0/16.0 231 8 - 0.85" 23:11 NA2 Gdr -485(52902) 187 52 16.0/16.0 225 9 R 0.86" --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 67 38 12 268 (W) 153 clear none 17:01 64 36 7 246 (WSW) 173 clear none 18:01 63 38 6 299 (WNW) 211 clear none 19:01 61 37 7 322 (NW) 214 clear none 20:01 61 37 5 299 (WNW) 256 clear none 21:01 59 38 7 295 (WNW) 258 clear none 22:01 60 38 5 274 (W) 291 clear none 23:01 61 38 5 248 (WSW) 306 clear none 00:01 61 37 11 211 (SSW) 250 clear none 01:01 60 37 12 222 (SW) 278 clear none 02:01 59 38 9 218 (SW) 267 clear none 03:01 59 37 9 237 (WSW) 257 clear none 04:01 59 35 10 238 (WSW) 226 ptly cldy none 05:01 59 33 9 232 (SW) 252 ptly cldy none 06:01 58 33 12 223 (SW) 228 ptly cldy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
