Dembicky Clouds as soon as the moon entered the shadow. APOLLO never got a chance. Clouds remained for the remainder of the night. The 70% chance of snow meant about 10 flakes falling on site. I heard they got more in Cloudcroft! ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SAEDFNVOG) 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 42 18 21 253 (WSW) 757 pt. cldy none 17:00 38 18 19 264 (W) 885 pt. cldy none 18:00 37 17 16 261 (W) 950 cldy none 19:00 36 18 16 242 (WSW) 1011 cldy none 20:00 36 19 11 271 (W) 823 cldy none 21:00 33 22 13 269 (W) 683 cldy none 22:00 32 24 12 265 (W) 660 cldy none 23:00 32 24 12 266 (W) 709 cldy none 00:00 32 24 13 273 (W) 685 cldy none 01:00 31 23 12 267 (W) 734 cldy none 02:00 31 23 16 264 (W) 899 cldy none 03:00 30 23 14 258 (WSW) 1075 cldy none 04:00 30 24 23 268 (W) 1138 cldy none 05:00 29 23 21 262 (W) 1103 cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
