Weather was usable for much of second half, but not good -- clouds made photon-gathering difficult. We also closed for a little over an hour when radar returns showed a threat of precipitation in addition to thickening clouds, but the rain never got here. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:28 DISslit -150(1242) -60 57 9.7/12.3 77 15 - 1.56 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 64 37 6 267 (W) 366 17:01 69 39 12 260 (W) 424 18:01 65 36 13 267 (W) 503 cloudy sprinkles 19:01 51 39 15 339 (NNW) 2507 cloudy sprinkles 20:01 52 38 13 14 (NNE) 1659 cloudy sprinkles 21:01 56 34 6 326 (NW) 770 cloudy none 22:01 57 34 9 29 (NNE) 458 cloudy none 23:01 56 34 1 294 (WNW) 567 mstly cldy none 00:01 52 37 8 61 (ENE) 566 mstly cldy none 01:01 49 40 18 70 (ENE) 374 mstly cldy none 02:01 50 38 7 61 (ENE) 248 ptly cldy none 03:01 53 36 4 193 (SSW) 661 ptly cldy none 04:01 53 36 10 213 (SSW) 690 ptly cldy none 05:01 51 36 9 163 (SSE) 443 ptly cldy none 06:01 50 37 14 143 (SE) 388 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
