While the precip didn't stick around, the menacing clouds and nearby radar returns were with us for all of the first half. Clouds and humidity cleared up enough to open in the second half, although we still had some issues with clouds. Seeing was decent. No problems to report. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:56 dis-slit 113( 107) 37 57 11.5 13.4 14.5 12.9 12.2 -- 1.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 73 20 21 223 (SW) 826 mstly clr none 17:00 73 19 20 264 (W) 1530 mstly clr none 18:00 71 20 19 263 (W) 634 mstly clr none 19:00 68 21 16 265 (W) 524 mstly clr none 20:00 66 22 17 264 (W) 596 mstly clr none 21:00 65 21 12 249 (WSW) 819 ptly cldy none 22:00 64 23 15 247 (WSW) 933 ptly cldy none 23:00 63 25 14 266 (W) 4655 mstly clr dust 00:00 63 27 12 273 (W) 5695 mstly clr dust 01:00 62 28 6 286 (WNW) 3030 clear none 02:00 62 28 10 267 (W) 2281 clear none 03:00 61 28 13 305 (NW) 1722 clear none 04:00 61 27 10 318 (NW) 1364 clear none 05:00 61 25 9 26 (NNE) 1049 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
