Nearby radar and an incoming storm threatened to close us, but we pushed through until 01:30. Weather did not improve again until 04:11. No other problems. Except for the fact that the "surging" storm was all hat and no cattle. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:01 SPICAM 400( 824) -116 25 15.4 17.3 17.8 16.4 15.5 MSSSO R 2.50 21:04 SPICAM 400( 822) -116 11 15.4 17.2 17.7 16.4 15.5 MSSSO R 3.15 21:59 SPICAM 400( 671) -74 47 14.7 15.6 16.1 15.1 14.6 MSSSO R 2.00 01:16 SPICAM 450( 585) -84 36 12.6 12.7 13.3 12.8 12.4 Strom Y 1.17 04:20 SPICAM 400( 473) 31 75 12.7 12.3 13.2 12.3 12.4 MSSSO R 2.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 71 38 11 27 (NNE) 993 clear none 17:00 67 41 20 72 (ENE) 759 mstly clr none 18:00 67 43 23 85 (E) 1039 mstly clr none 19:00 65 44 18 71 (ENE) 1150 mstly clr none 20:00 62 47 20 66 (ENE) 1259 mstly clr none 21:00 60 47 18 82 (E) 1259 ptly cldy none 22:00 58 47 17 87 (E) 1286 mstly cldy none 23:00 57 50 23 73 (ENE) 1739 ptly cldy humid 00:00 56 51 19 73 (ENE) 1918 mstly cldy humid 01:00 55 49 20 80 (E) 1470 ptly cldy humid 02:00 54 50 19 75 (ENE) 1590 mstly cldy humid 03:00 53 50 11 85 (E) 1642 mstly clr none 04:00 54 48 13 79 (E) 1634 clear none 05:00 56 47 15 80 (E) 1550 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
