Clear skies until 0330 when the first signs of the hurricane over the Baja brought us light and broken cloud cover. It was apparently not thick enough to stop photon collection. The observer collected data until twilight. Seeing was good to moderate all 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:43 dis-slit 0(1075) 159 74 14.4/17.4 267 5 - 0.9 19:54 NA2gdr 2500(43500) 169 75 14.3/17.1 247 3 R 0.94 -------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 66 30 11 275 (W) 388 clear none 17:01 65 27 9 287 (WNW) 378 clear none 18:01 64 25 12 301 (WNW) 423 clear none 19:01 60 24 5 269 (W) 480 clear none 20:01 58 24 2 255 (WSW) 543 clear none 21:01 58 24 4 291 (WNW) 532 clear none 22:01 58 24 6 309 (NW) 552 clear none 23:01 56 26 6 133 (SE) 558 clear none 00:01 54 40 7 116 (ESE) 491 clear none 01:01 56 32 2 223 (SW) 516 clear none 02:01 56 33 6 276 (W) 526 clear none 03:01 54 37 1 258 (WSW) 529 clear none 04:01 54 37 1 215 (SW) 467 prtly cldy none 05:01 54 39 4 183 (S) 493 mstly cldy none 06:01 53 39 3 240 (WSW) 482 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
