The clouds cleared before the start of second half, but too late for Carol to get anything. So we let UC05 start a little early. We opened at 23:15. The rest of the night was productive with moderate seeing. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23:37 SPICAM 390( -127) 271 77 0.7 0.7 0.9 0.9 -0.2 SDSS r 1.37 23:42 NA2gdr 543(30543) 270 76 0.8 0.7 0.8 0.8 0.1 Clear 1.65 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 40 14 1 212 (SSW) 619 cloudy none 17:00 39 8 5 183 (S) 102 cloudy none 18:00 38 5 4 96 (E) 112 cloudy none 19:00 39 -3 1 205 (SSW) 77 cloudy none 20:00 39 -4 1 341 (NNW) 34 cloudy none 21:00 38 -5 2 99 (E) 32 cloudy none 22:00 36 1 2 203 (SSW) 108 cloudy none 23:00 35 2 2 180 (S) 97 mstly clr none 00:00 33 1 6 143 (SE) 110 clear none 01:00 34 0 12 165 (SSE) 84 clear none 02:00 35 -9 14 179 (S) 80 mstly clr none 03:00 36 -9 11 182 (S) 55 clear none 04:00 37 -7 6 244 (WSW) 27 clear none 05:00 35 -9 11 259 (W) 36 clear none 06:00 33 -10 6 253 (WSW) 39 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
