Clouds began rolling in around 10:45, closed at 11:20. The clouds were forming just NW of us in the basin making the few holes that popped up untrustworthy. We reopened at 2:20. Variable seeing and fluctuating humidity the rest of the night. ------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------- 20:15 SPIcam -220(-121) 209 75 3.0 4.2 3.9 3.9 3.1 g 1.0 02:30 Echelle -76(-892) 68 37 4.7 3.9 3.2 3.9 4.4 ND2 1.5 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 36 31 4 307 (NW) 520 clear none 17:00 39 28 8 299 (WNW) 1284 clear none 18:00 40 28 6 283 (WNW) 993 mstly clr none 19:00 37 28 8 298 (WNW) 768 clear none 20:00 37 28 8 264 (W) 1308 clear none 21:00 37 29 18 288 (WNW) 1186 clear none 22:00 38 24 20 293 (WNW) 1069 mstly clr none 23:00 39 24 24 279 (W) 985 mstly cldy none 00:00 39 24 16 308 (NW) 928 mstly cldy none 01:00 39 23 17 294 (WNW) 989 mstly cldy none 02:00 41 20 19 286 (WNW) 1070 mstly clr none 03:00 38 25 14 279 (W) 981 clear none 04:00 37 25 14 301 (WNW) 1016 ptly cldy none 05:00 35 28 14 266 (W) 1040 mstly clr none 06:00 36 27 13 266 (W) 1036 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
