Clouds began to thin around midnight and humidity dropped just in time for the program changeover. Second half had some fruitful observing; seeing started out poor, improved to nearly 1.1 arcsec, then worsened again towards twilight. ------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:15 AGILE -100( -68) 10 62 13.8 14.9 15.1 13.6 14.0 B 1.90 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 57 47 12 80 (E) 1216 ptly cldy none 17:00 62 47 9 87 (E) 1616 ptly cldy none 18:00 62 47 11 52 (NE) 1933 ptly cldy none 19:00 61 48 13 78 (ENE) 2091 ptly cldy none 20:00 58 47 15 68 (ENE) 2127 mstly cldy none 21:00 58 44 13 59 (ENE) 2306 cloudy none 22:00 57 47 1 238 (WSW) 2730 cloudy none 23:00 55 47 9 124 (SE) 2479 cloudy none 00:00 54 51 11 102 (ESE) 3834 ptly cldy humid 01:00 55 47 10 10 (N) 3681 ptly cldy none 02:00 55 47 2 354 (N) 3206 clear none 03:00 55 42 8 54 (NE) 2621 clear none 04:00 54 41 3 10 (N) 2591 clear none 05:00 54 44 0 252 (WSW) 2923 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
