I opened the enclosure and louvers around 18:10 under partly cloudy skies. Clouds stopped observations around 18:40 but thinned out around 20:25 for us to get some useful data. The clouds came back around 23:00 and basically closed us for the remainder of the night. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG/INST FAILURE MODE 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:33 DISslit 0(515) 169 67 5.9/5.7 192 26 none 1.07 20:37 NA2gdr -3277(53722) 174 67 5.8/5.6 200 27 R 0.97 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 46 22 22 193 (SSW) 332 Pt.
