The humidity remained just below the limit for some hours and the observers were able to get a little data through the clouds with the help of good to excellent seeing. Around 23:00 the humidity went over the limit, and we 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:25 gfp -50(1196) 117 69 5.1/7.2 86 8 4353 1.12 19:33 NA2gdr -1519(49481) 121 71 5.3/6.9 92 7 R 1.17 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 46 34 1 289 (WNW) mstly cldy lt rain 17:01 46 33 0 217 (SW) mstly cldy none 18:01 43 35 6 75 (ENE) ptly cldy none 19:01 41 35 8 81 (E) ptly cldy none 20:01 42 34 10 111 (ESE) ptly cldy none 21:01 40 34 9 108 (ESE) mstly cldy none 22:01 40 32 12 127 (SE) mstly cldy none 23:01 39 35 19 126 (SE) mstly cldy none 00:01 39 35 15 121 (ESE) mstly cldy none 01:01 39 36 17 122 (ESE) mstly cldy none 02:01 39 36 19 127 (SE) mstly cldy none 03:01 39 36 19 133 (SE) mstly cldy none 04:01 38 37 17 139 (SE) mstly cldy fog 05:01 38 38 16 146 (SE) mstly cldy fog Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
