Even when the cloudcover seemed to break around 22:00 the rain sensor kept going off and the radar showed local isolated precipitation. 2nd Half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan Never opened second half. Lots of clouds, some high winds, a little moisture. There was an internet outage around 02:00, which restored itself within half an hour. ------- 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 41 32 0 312 (NW) 95 cloudy lt rain 17:01 41 32 2 252 (WSW) 37 cloudy none 18:01 41 31 9 231 (SW) 32 cloudy none 19:01 41 32 2 260 (W) 27 cloudy none 20:01 42 32 6 212 (SSW) 29 cloudy none 21:01 42 31 11 225 (SW) 23 ptly cldy lt rain 22:01 41 32 12 126 (SE) 34 ptly cldy lt rain 23:01 44 30 16 157 (SSE) 39 ptly cldy lt rain 00:01 45 30 23 156 (SSE) 80 cloudy lt rain 01:01 44 30 24 160 (SSE) 59 cloudy none 02:01 45 29 20 155 (SSE) 73 cloudy none 03:01 45 28 22 164 (SSE) 69 cloudy none 04:01 45 28 34 178 (S) 116 cloudy none 05:01 42 28 29 193 (SSW) 141 cloudy none 06:01 41 28 25 193 (SSW) 97 cloudy lt rain 07:01 39 28 22 203 (SSW) 145 cloudy lt rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
