Davenport AZ Velocity Scales: Checkout - (temp ~19) 577.9 Clouds and some wind came quickly in the late afternoon / early evening. Clouds and high humidity kept us closed for the first half. At around 02:30 Russett called off Apollo when it became clear that the clouds were not thinning. Clouds stayed on us and we called it quits at 04:30. No problems otherwise. ------- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 67 47 21 64 (ENE) 660 mstly cldy none 17:00 66 47 16 66 (ENE) 644 mstly cldy none 18:00 66 48 17 79 (E) 696 mstly cldy none 19:00 60 48 18 72 (ENE) 786 mstly cldy none 20:00 59 49 17 82 (E) 780 mstly cldy none 21:00 59 49 23 69 (ENE) 808 cloudy none 22:00 54 48 8 346 (NNW) 2203 cloudy none 23:00 50 50 13 7 (N) 1506 cloudy lt rain 00:00 48 49 24 44 (NE) 815 cloudy lt rain 01:00 48 48 25 23 (NNE) 453 cloudy none 02:00 56 41 0 305 (NW) 347 cloudy none 03:00 52 44 12 78 (ENE) 339 cloudy none 04:00 54 41 17 86 (E) 342 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
