A few rain drops fell around 21:00. Then the dust levels went skyrocketing. (sounds like a repeat from last night huh?!?). We never opened again tonight because of Dust and Clouds. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 71 26 5 262 (W) 2037 Cirrus none 17:01 71 24 3 271 (W) 2148 Cirrus none 18:01 71 25 3 268 (W) 2170 Mst.
