Dembicky Clouds/humidity kept us closed for the first half of the night. 2nd half started with borderline humidity which I watched for about 40 mins before deciding to open. Humidity shot up as soon as I opened and closed us down just as I finished focusing DIS. We never re-opened as the humidity either was above closure limits or it was cloudy. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:57 DISslit -150(488) 69.3 62.1 1.8/3.7 285 17 R 2.6 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 46 34 22 250 (WSW) -- Cloudy none 17:01 46 31 23 251 (WSW) -- Mst.
