We closed for a while when the clouds were too thick to work through. Wind and dust skimmed close to the limit but came down again. APOLLO had to give up time again due to a failure of the same power supply that had been worked on since Tuesday. More work for tomorrow! ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SAEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UW13 A I/H 20:03 20:19 APOLLO bad pwr supply ---------------- 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 48 12 10 268 (W) 940 ptly cldy none 17:00 46 13 11 265 (W) 976 ptly cldy none 18:00 46 13 13 311 (NW) 989 ptly cldy none 19:00 44 14 11 267 (W) 1264 mstly clr none 20:00 45 14 11 248 (WSW) 1321 ptly cldy none 21:00 44 16 18 262 (W) 1252 mstly cldy none 22:00 43 17 20 239 (WSW) 1379 mstly cldy none 23:00 42 17 13 274 (W) 1876 ptly cldy none 00:00 41 15 25 271 (W) 2489 ptly cldy none 01:00 41 14 16 273 (W) 1467 ptly cldy none 02:00 40 16 15 260 (W) 1149 clear none 03:00 39 15 16 263 (W) 1094 clear none 04:00 38 16 15 262 (W) 1124 mstly clr none 05:00 37 17 20 244 (WSW) 1257 mstly clr none 06:00 36 17 17 252 (WSW) 1190 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
