Dembicky I started cooling the enclosure around 19:15 and opened around 20:40. There was the threat of rain to the S and W of us (I could see rain over the basin) so I delayed until I felt it was safe to open and the clouds were moving away from us. A few clouds during the night, but nothing too threatening. The humidity did rise during the night as well and came close to closure, but dropped. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:15 SPIcam -100(1012) 255 79 14.1/14.6 124 13 B 1.10 21:28 NA2gdr 2912(51912) 259 76 14.4/14.5 110 12 clear 0.94 00:37 SPIcam -50(1093) 81 32 11.1/11.9 111 11 R 2.54 02:38 DISSlit -100(530) 21 81 10.9/11.6 132 7 none 1.13 02:41 NA2gdr -1378(39621) 21 81 10.9/11.5 121 5 R 1.25 --------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:01 58 38 18 70 (ENE) 566 Pt.
