The satellite said the clouds were orographic. They finally started to clear when it was too late for the second half observer to get anything useful. Agile was not used on-sky, but did behave perfectly for the cals. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03:58 dis-slit 63( -526) -38 69 3.5 4.3 4.2 4.1 3.9 - 1.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 42 22 17 259 (W) 1582 mstly cldy none 17:00 42 20 20 237 (WSW) 1477 mstly cldy none 18:00 41 21 23 251 (WSW) 1397 mstly cldy none 19:00 39 22 17 252 (WSW) 1367 mstly cldy none 20:00 39 23 19 263 (W) 1576 mstly cldy none 21:00 38 25 18 247 (WSW) 1503 ptly cldy none 22:00 40 14 19 265 (W) 1296 ptly cldy none 23:00 40 15 15 265 (W) 1016 cloudy none 00:00 40 17 17 276 (W) 959 cloudy none 01:00 40 25 16 264 (W) 757 cloudy none 02:00 40 26 13 257 (WSW) 683 cloudy none 03:00 40 28 6 260 (W) 534 cloudy none 04:00 40 28 14 251 (WSW) 348 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
