Winds and dust were low. We did not get to observe until around midnight when things cleared a little. By then the winds had shifted and seeing was reasonable. All ran smoothly until we closed. Clouds moved in again around twilight. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:49 GFP 150(935) 156 67 7.9/7.4 180 13 "B" 1.1 01:05 NS2 Gdr 1549(64529) 206 65 7.7/7.8 182 17 R 1.1 03:10 GFP 50(844) 244 46 6.1/6.4 169 19 4257A 2.1 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 55 27 4 273 (W) 1741 cloudy none 17:01 55 27 5 293 (WNW) 2162 cloudy none 18:01 52 25 16 49 (NE) 714 cloudy none 19:01 47 24 12 79 (ENE) 788 cloudy none 20:01 43 23 17 81 (E) 806 cloudy none 21:01 42 23 15 74 (ENE) 937 cloudy none 22:01 42 23 19 125 (SE) 931 cloudy none 23:01 44 25 14 122 (ESE) 1475 cloudy none 00:01 46 30 14 175 (S) 2153 cirrus none 01:01 47 31 16 182 (S) 1647 cirrus none 02:01 44 27 20 157 (SSE) 1254 cirrus none 03:01 44 27 16 170 (S) 1147 cirrus none 04:01 44 36 14 177 (S) 1166 cirrus none 05:01 45 35 15 175 (S) 1374 cloudy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
