The rest of the night was clear with excellent seeing. We had one small bout of clouds that cleared quickly, and high dust (not smoke) in the last 2 hours. No problems to report, all was well behaved. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:27 ECHELLE 379( -409) 277 72 18.5 18.9 19.5 19.0 18.2 ND2 0.74 00:14 ECHELLE 536( -325) 126 74 17.9 17.5 18.0 17.5 17.4 ND1 0.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 75 31 24 261 (W) 3344 mstly clr none 17:00 73 32 20 260 (W) 1440 ptly cldy none 18:00 72 32 23 250 (WSW) 2263 cloudy dust 19:00 68 28 10 274 (W) 4134 cloudy none 20:00 67 24 10 265 (W) 3339 cloudy none 21:00 65 24 12 273 (W) 3966 cloudy none 22:00 65 23 11 273 (W) 1428 clear none 23:00 65 22 17 285 (WNW) 1134 clear none 00:00 65 20 10 275 (W) 820 clear none 01:00 64 21 9 263 (W) 718 clear none 02:00 64 19 10 272 (W) 633 ptly cldy none 03:00 63 20 11 265 (W) 734 clear none 04:00 60 18 15 196 (SSW) 994 clear dust 05:00 57 34 16 211 (SSW) 6190 clear dust Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
