The cloud camera quit for an unknown reason tonight. We restarted it and it seems to have continued just fine. 2nd half Observing Specialist: J.Barentine Second half was once again very quiet. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFVO) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:56 dis-slit -450(252) 21 46 4.0/6.8 358 5 - 1.4 18:56 NA2gdr -292(40707) 21 46 4.0/6.8 358 5 R 1.08 20:11 dis-slit -125(480) 14 51 4.6/5.0 2 7 - 1.6 20:14 NA2gdr 622(41622) 13 51 4.7/5.0 348 12 R 1.3 02:30 SPIcam -125(705) -31 78 7.2/5.6 6 1 r' 1.39 02:32 NA2gdr 2873(51873) -32 78 7.0/5.6 354 2 clear 1.25 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 47 20 10 261 (W) 157 clear none 17:01 44 20 2 275 (W) 288 clear none 18:01 38 21 1 198 (SSW) 728 clear none 19:01 39 17 3 346 (NNW) 306 clear none 20:01 40 18 8 31 (NNE) 137 clear none 21:01 40 18 7 326 (NW) 166 clear none 22:01 40 17 0 80 (E) 182 clear none 23:01 41 18 10 9 (N) 145 clear none 00:01 44 14 14 30 (NNE) 101 clear none 01:01 42 8 9 36 (NE) 31 clear none 02:01 43 15 6 27 (NNE) 63 clear none 03:01 40 18 6 23 (NNE) 79 clear none 04:01 41 18 7 353 (N) 115 clear none 05:01 41 18 10 352 (N) 89 clear none 06:01 40 17 9 340 (NNW) 123 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
