We finally were able to open after the clouds parted and the humidity dropped below 85% around 03:55. Focus was way out due to the fact that the telescope was warm, but seeing was not too bad for just opening. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 04:14 DISslit -480(378) 158 76 13.4/14.5 0 3 none 1.63 04:18 NA2gdr 4000(5800) 160 76 13.4/14.4 347 4 R 1.04 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:01 72 32 5 21 (NNE) 1601 Cloudy none 19:01 67 32 6 354 (N) 7032 Cloudy none 20:01 54 44 19 73 (ENE) 6116 Cloudy none 21:01 54 42 19 72 (ENE) 1968 Cloudy none 22:01 59 37 13 74 (ENE) 2760 Cloudy none 23:01 64 32 10 6 (N) 2696 Cloudy none 00:01 61 35 17 75 (ENE) 1535 Cloudy none 01:01 51 45 26 73 (ENE) 1159 Cloudy none 02:01 50 47 19 68 (ENE) 1482 Cloudy none 03:01 51 47 10 84 (E) 2091 Pt.
