Then the clouds got too thick and we closed. Second half had high humidity and snow, accumulating a couple of inches. I ran the snow program andalso the roof heaters. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:38 ECHELLE 238(-1367) -13 66 1.2 2.8 2.2 2.2 1.8 ND3 1.90 16:00 38 25 12 233 (SW) 439 mstly cldy none 17:00 36 25 15 205 (SSW) 671 mstly cldy none 18:00 34 25 16 205 (SSW) 865 mstly cldy none 19:00 34 25 12 191 (S) 844 mstly cldy none 20:00 35 25 14 189 (S) 789 cloudy none 21:00 36 25 20 200 (SSW) 850 cloudy none 22:00 36 24 22 207 (SSW) 928 cloudy none 23:00 35 23 17 198 (SSW) 1110 cloudy none 00:00 34 24 16 189 (S) 1079 cloudy none 01:00 33 24 18 240 (WSW) 1062 cloudy none 02:00 31 25 14 256 (WSW) 711 cloudy lt snow 03:00 28 27 25 235 (SW) 554 cloudy snow 04:00 28 28 11 215 (SW) 12917 cloudy snow 05:00 28 28 13 244 (WSW) 58999 cloudy snow Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
