Closed again at 01:40 due to high humidity and low dewpoint difference. The humidity stayed above 89% for the rest of the night. UC02 called it at 04:15. I did fills and went to bed. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:06 ECHELLE 821( 168) 242 66 12.3 14.6 15.2 14.3 12.7 ND3 1.21 01:12 APOLLO 646( 1565) 62 47 10.8 10.8 11.3 10.7 10.6 530nm 1.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 59 50 5 56 (NE) mstly cldy lt rain 17:00 66 44 23 217 (SW) mstly cldy none 18:00 59 44 13 136 (SE) ptly cldy none 19:00 56 49 16 136 (SE) ptly cldy none 20:00 54 50 15 109 (ESE) ptly cldy none 21:00 54 48 16 80 (E) mstly clr none 22:00 55 45 16 94 (E) ptly cldy none 23:00 54 43 20 110 (ESE) mstly cldy none 00:00 52 47 19 125 (SE) ptly cldy none 01:00 51 48 27 144 (SE) ptly cldy humid 02:00 51 49 22 151 (SSE) mstly clr humid 03:00 52 49 18 193 (SSW) ptly cldy humid 04:00 52 49 14 176 (S) mstly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
