They thinned out a little around 19:30 and she was able to complete part of the grid for Jeff's test until clouds got too thick and stopped us. Clouds remained the remainder of the night, sometimes thinning, but shortly afterwards coming back. We didn't open the remainder of the night. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 52 32 14 248 (WSW) 142 Pt.
