We did open for a while starting at midnight to take advantage of a thinning in the clouds, but it was already too late for the first half observers. Although we managed to get focused and stayed open until 02:00 for continued attempts, no science was possible. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:09 SPIcam 50(817) 8 75 8.0/9.3 259 18 i' 0.99 00:12 NA2gdr 1016(62016) 7 75 8.1/9.3 268 17 R 1.31 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 55 9 17 260 (W) 1415 cloudy none 17:01 55 11 22 263 (W) 2303 cloudy none 18:01 54 9 19 267 (W) 2463 cloudy none 19:01 53 8 21 266 (W) 3723 cloudy none 20:01 51 7 30 261 (W) 2380 cloudy none 21:01 50 5 22 268 (W) 2825 cloudy none 22:01 49 5 19 265 (W) 2036 mstly cldy none 23:01 48 3 22 270 (W) 1776 mstly cldy none 00:01 47 2 19 267 (W) 1845 ptly cldy none 01:01 46 2 19 262 (W) 1493 mstly cldy none 02:01 45 1 13 259 (W) 1444 mstly cldy none 03:01 45 1 17 271 (W) 1283 cloudy none 04:01 44 0 14 267 (W) 1383 cloudy none 05:01 43 0 14 262 (W) 1289 cloudy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
