After that we had clouds that varied rapidly and were hard to see on the satellite. We stayed open until another humidity spike near morning twilight, but the observers were only able to work part of the time so the time account reflects that. ------- 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 40 7 9 262 (W) 492 cloudy none 17:00 38 8 6 279 (W) 517 cloudy none 18:00 37 21 16 302 (WNW) 270 cloudy lt snow 19:00 35 24 11 267 (W) 241 cloudy lt snow 20:00 34 25 9 228 (SW) 418 cloudy lt snow 21:00 30 30 15 246 (WSW) 38753 cloudy humid 22:00 30 27 10 263 (W) 273 ptly cldy none 23:00 31 24 14 300 (WNW) 238 ptly cldy none 00:00 31 24 13 300 (WNW) 233 ptly cldy none 01:00 31 22 17 313 (NW) 246 mstly cldy none 02:00 31 20 13 291 (WNW) 249 mstly cldy none 03:00 32 16 18 315 (NW) 308 mstly cldy none 04:00 31 18 9 307 (NW) 391 ptly cldy none 05:00 30 24 14 5 (N) 251 ptly cldy none 06:00 29 24 18 0 (N) 204 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
