I was finally able to open around 02:45 MDT, we got one focus and a good Echelle exposure when clouds rolled in again, very thick. It ruined the second exp and I decided to close again. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 03:07 Echelle 73(239) -6 73 17.6/17.9 282 1 ND2 0.82 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:01 67 34 0 137 (SE) 1189 cloudy none 19:01 68 33 2 105 (ESE) 1060 cloudy none 20:01 67 32 7 88 (E) 936 cloudy none 21:01 64 40 24 55 (NE) 1125 cloudy none 22:01 64 35 12 42 (NE) 1018 cloudy none 23:01 66 30 30 32 (NNE) 765 cloudy none 00:01 63 36 22 60 (ENE) 830 cloudy none 01:01 62 39 13 62 (ENE) 1066 cloudy none 02:01 64 35 5 358 (N) 1368 cloudy none 03:01 66 33 6 347 (NNW) 1341 mstly clr none 04:01 65 32 5 273 (W) 1066 cloudy none note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
