I focused the telescope and handed it over to the observers around 02:45 with seeing around 1.4 arc sec. Clouds came a rolling back in with a vengence around 03:00 and the observers reported no useful data in the short time they had the telescope. Clouds kept us closed for 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 02:28 DISSlit -100(714) 138 69 0.4/0.8 269 7 none 1.46 02:33 NA2gdr -439(46560) 141 70 0.4/0.9 271 8 clear 1.18 -------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 39 14 0 250 (WSW) - Cloudy none 17:01 34 20 2 341 (NNW) - Cloudy none 18:01 37 -9 4 356 (N) - Cloudy none 19:01 37 -10 7 330 (NNW) - Cloudy none 20:01 36 -9 8 321 (NW) - Cloudy none 21:01 31 20 11 11 (N) - Cloudy none 22:01 31 20 4 275 (W) - Cloudy none 23:01 32 16 8 268 (W) - Cloudy none 00:01 33 2 9 265 (W) - Cloudy none 01:01 33 -11 9 266 (W) - Cloudy none 02:01 33 -8 6 272 (W) - Pt Cldy none 03:01 34 -10 10 306 (NW) - Cloudy none 04:01 33 -4 8 302 (WNW) - Cloudy none 05:01 31 2 3 316 (NW) - Cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
