After that, the clouds continued to pass through but generally avoided the target of interest, so we were able to take data all night. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:08 DISslit 0(863) 146 72 13.6/14.3 272 18 - 0.97 22:10 NA2gdr -3208(53791) 147 72 13.3/14.2 266 17 R 0.85 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 68 9 28 242 (WSW) 905 ptly cldy none 17:01 66 5 20 244 (WSW) 672 ptly cldy none 18:01 64 9 25 257 (WSW) 921 ptly cldy none 19:01 60 8 12 263 (W) 1021 ptly cldy none 20:01 57 12 21 263 (W) 1241 ptly cldy none 21:01 57 15 19 261 (W) 1349 ptly cldy none 22:01 57 14 20 270 (W) 1374 ptly cldy none 23:01 56 14 17 257 (WSW) 1109 ptly cldy none 00:01 55 17 19 271 (W) 1222 ptly cldy none 01:01 53 16 17 266 (W) 1167 ptly cldy none 02:01 52 16 11 266 (W) 1246 ptly cldy none 03:01 52 15 5 295 (WNW) 1277 ptly cldy none 04:01 51 14 11 271 (W) 1379 mstlyclr none 05:01 51 12 10 291 (WNW) 1225 mstlyclr none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
