We had rain, clouds, and high humidity. I did a little software work, a little paperwork, and a little checking into some of the minor mysteries outstanding from this past week. But mostly, on the seventh night I rested. ------- 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 66 46 11 222 (SW) 1704 ptly cldy none 17:00 61 45 8 187 (S) 987 ptly cldy none 18:00 59 45 9 162 (SSE) 349 ptly cldy none 19:00 58 45 10 147 (SSE) 2386 ptly cldy none 20:00 58 43 13 182 (S) 137 mstly cldy lt rain 21:00 57 44 9 168 (SSE) 498 mstly cldy rain 22:00 51 50 9 175 (S) 408 mstly cldy rain 23:00 52 49 12 184 (S) 1425 mstly cldy humid 00:00 53 49 17 188 (S) 949 mstly cldy humid 01:00 53 48 14 201 (SSW) 2838 mstly cldy humid 02:00 52 49 13 204 (SSW) 640 mstly cldy humid 03:00 52 49 13 182 (S) 1008 mstly cldy rain 04:00 52 50 12 184 (S) 284 mstly cldy humid 05:00 51 48 11 177 (S) 213 mstly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
