Clouds forced us to close the dome at 03:15, and we took cals in the meantime. I completed fills at 03:15. Both the Tspec and NICFPS tanks are empty, and I left the hoses disconnected on each tank. We gave up at 04:15 as we had nothing to look forward to except more clouds. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:07 dcamera 674( 653) 139 58 5.4 6.3 5.8 6.6 5.1 -- 1.70 00:19 dcamera 550( 404) 170 61 3.9 3.9 4.4 3.9 3.7 -- 1.57 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 44 18 12 231 (SW) 405 ptly cldy none 17:00 42 16 12 203 (SSW) 405 ptly cldy none 18:00 41 16 17 228 (SW) 405 mstly clr none 19:00 42 17 14 267 (W) 405 mstly cldy none 20:00 42 18 13 278 (W) 405 ptly cldy none 21:00 42 17 15 287 (WNW) 405 mstly cldy none 22:00 41 17 12 270 (W) 405 ptly cldy none 23:00 40 17 18 261 (W) 405 mstly clr none 00:00 40 18 21 250 (WSW) 405 ptly cldy none 01:00 38 18 18 243 (WSW) 405 mstly cldy none 02:00 38 19 18 250 (WSW) 405 mstly cldy none 03:00 37 20 19 253 (WSW) 405 cloudy none 04:00 36 20 15 234 (SW) 405 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
