We continued to take data, but most of it was unusable. I listed this as time lost to weather, even though we remianed open. Clouds were thin enough for useable data after 23:00. Continued onward with Echelle until end of A half. Closed early due to incoming radar and clouds. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:54 ecamera 532( -427) 241 74 5.0 8.6 8.4 8.6 5.6 clear 1.03 21:25 dcamera 548( 436) 112 63 4.7 4.6 4.9 4.4 4.4 -- 2.53 21:26 dcamera 548( 436) 112 64 4.7 4.6 4.9 4.4 4.4 -- 2.17 00:00 ecamera 638( -495) 110 44 5.6 4.8 5.2 5.0 5.3 clear 2.23 01:18 ecamera 686( -480) 193 65 5.2 4.5 5.0 4.6 4.7 ND2 2.04 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 15 12 203 (SSW) 272 clear none 17:00 50 18 7 208 (SSW) 281 clear none 18:00 42 17 11 145 (SE) 349 clear none 19:00 41 13 17 180 (S) 335 clear none 20:00 41 10 15 137 (SE) 302 clear none 21:00 41 13 20 150 (SSE) 318 clear none 22:00 41 13 19 164 (SSE) 393 mstly cldy none 23:00 41 14 11 145 (SE) 476 mstly cldy none 00:00 42 11 16 177 (S) 381 mstly cldy none 01:00 40 11 12 131 (SE) 399 cloudy none 01:00 43 12 11 180 (S) 346 cloudy none 02:00 42 14 11 208 (SSW) 471 mstly cldy none 03:00 40 16 10 175 (S) 534 mstly cldy none 04:00 41 17 6 178 (S) 502 mstly clr none 05:00 42 17 24 203 (SSW) 521 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
