Clouds came and went throughout the remainder of first half, but Paule was able to make some use of the time. 2nd Half Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky Other than pesky clouds that made observing marginal everything went smoothly. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE TIME S/E/G/D/O TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:08 Echelle -90(-318) 19 63 8.4/9.5 41 13 ND1 1.29 23:16 Echelle 81(-183) 329 59 8.9/8.4 52 19 ND1 1.08 01:22 Echelle 68(-240) 102 65 7.7/7.8 55 14 clear 1.17 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 50 38 7 346 (NNW) 313 PtlyCldy none 17:01 49 34 6 15 (NNE) 292 PtlyCldy none 18:01 47 27 12 29 (NNE) 346 MstlyCldy none 19:01 48 21 13 25 (NNE) 287 MstlyCldy none 20:01 47 23 16 29 (NNE) 194 PtlyCldy none 21:01 48 16 10 10 (N) 162 PtlyCldy none 22:01 48 20 14 31 (NNE) 239 PtlyCldy none 23:01 48 21 17 55 (NE) 233 PtlyCldy none 00:01 46 21 3 2 (N) 325 PtlyCldy none 01:01 46 24 8 53 (NE) 284 PtlyCldy none 02:01 45 22 8 34 (NE) 309 PtlyCldy none 03:01 46 25 10 75 (ENE) 280 PtlyCldy none 04:01 44 30 13 81 (E) 289 PtlyCldy none 05:01 43 33 11 78 (ENE) 305 PtlyCldy none 06:01 44 31 7 90 (E) 287 MstlyCldy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
