Once we got going again, there were a few more waves of clouds that weren't bad enough to stop us. Second half was mostly clear. Seeing was moderate to poor all night. After I had observed all the high-priority targets for the SN program, there were no more targets at an acceptable airmass, so I used the last hour of the night for my own program. ------- 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 69 32 3 273 (W) mstly clr none 17:01 66 34 9 78 (ENE) mstly clr none 18:01 64 37 7 102 (ESE) mstly clr none 19:01 59 41 13 79 (ENE) mstly clr none 20:01 57 42 19 78 (ENE) ptly cldy none 21:01 57 43 14 89 (E) mstly cldy none 22:01 58 43 13 87 (E) ptly cldy none 23:01 57 43 14 110 (ESE) ptly cldy none 00:01 58 41 16 125 (SE) ptly cldy none 01:01 59 41 14 122 (ESE) ptly cldy none 02:01 60 39 20 128 (SE) mstly clr none 03:01 61 39 18 132 (SE) clear none 04:01 59 41 20 147 (SSE) clear none 05:01 59 39 13 144 (SE) clear none 06:01 59 39 15 149 (SSE) clear none 07:01 59 38 14 173 (S) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
