Worked on instrument guides. 2nd half Observing Specialist: R.McMillan High humidity, clouds, snow, and graupel continued second half. I did more paint tests with SPIcam and set up for focus tests with DIS (but didn't get around to them because SPIcam took longer than expected). SPIcam appears to be functioning normally. ------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 15:58 24 24 ?? 100 cloudy humid 16:58 26 24 ?? 345 cloudy humid 17:58 25 25 ?? 4455 cloudy snow 18:58 24 24 ?? 6741 cloudy snow 19:58 25 24 ?? 2761 cloudy snow 20:58 25 24 ?? 1894 cloudy snow 21:58 25 23 ?? 232 cloudy humid 22:58 25 23 ?? 2892 cloudy snow 23:58 25 22 ?? 1535 cloudy snow 00:58 25 22 ?? 870 cloudy lt snow 01:58 25 22 ?? 517 cloudy lt snow 02:58 24 21 ?? 226 cloudy lt snow 03:58 24 21 ?? 921 cloudy snow 04:58 24 20 ?? 261 cloudy snow 05:58 23 20 ?? 1920 cloudy lt snow Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
