PR submitted 20:10 closed due to wind and humidity, we also has some light snowflakes flying around for a while. We never re-opened due to wind. We had several power drops tonight, usually less than a second before the power came back. My guess was due to the wind. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:25 DISSlit -319(-454) -120 71 -0.4 1.7 1.1 0.4 0.1 -- 4.0 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions --------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 40 5 12 316 (NW) 1072 clear none 17:00 37 -2 24 17 (NNE) 1026 clear none 18:00 34 -5 21 20 (NNE) 941 clear windy 19:00 32 -6 26 26 (NNE) 672 clear windy 20:00 32 -6 24 58 (ENE) 508 clear none 21:00 32 -3 20 65 (ENE) 609 clear none 22:00 26 18 31 68 (ENE) 1472 cldy windy 23:00 24 21 37 67 (ENE) 1307 cldy Lt.
