I ran a closed dome pointing model for Nick. The weather data from tonight seemed to be missing/bad from the log file. I am not sure what happened to it but the timestamps were wrong and the data was not correct. We gave up at 05:10 with complete cloud cover and high humidity. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (STEDFNVOG) 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
