We almost attempted to take advantage of a drop in humidity at the start of morning twilight, but it turned out the change was due to low clouds that weren't visible on the satellite, so we had to give up. I did some bookkeeping during the night. ------- 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 30 28 10 280 (W) 300 ptly cldy humid 17:00 30 27 9 279 (W) 317 ptly cldy humid 18:00 28 25 8 273 (W) 290 ptly cldy humid 19:00 28 25 12 319 (NW) 254 ptly cldy humid 20:00 28 26 13 322 (NW) 337 mstly clr humid 21:00 28 26 11 309 (NW) 331 mstly clr humid 22:00 29 28 16 289 (WNW) 396 mstly clr humid 23:00 28 26 11 272 (W) 376 mstly clr humid 00:00 28 26 8 276 (W) 390 ptly cldy humid 01:00 27 27 7 275 (W) 112478 ptly cldy fog 02:00 27 26 15 294 (WNW) 336 ptly cldy humid 03:00 27 24 7 313 (NW) 287 ptly cldy humid 04:00 26 24 14 324 (NW) 306 ptly cldy humid 05:00 26 23 7 342 (NNW) 297 ptly cldy humid 06:00 26 22 12 318 (NW) 276 mstly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
