Humidity closed us just after the 2nd program started. Although we were technically open, no useful data was actually collected. Rain sensor went off at 04:35. We called it a night at that point with the humidity also still over the limits. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:15 dcamera 400( 250) 32 54 5.0 3.7 4.9 3.5 3.0 -- 2.75 23:08 AGILE 350(-1877) -19 57 5.0 3.2 3.8 3.4 3.3 sdss r 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 10 247 (WSW) 267 mstly cldy fog 17:00 12 269 (W) 211 ptly cldy fog 18:00 6 249 (WSW) 5662 ptly cldy humid 19:00 17 285 (WNW) 265 ptly cldy humid 20:00 15 268 (W) 333 clear none 21:00 19 271 (W) 443 mstly clr none 22:00 17 269 (W) 492 mstly clr none 23:00 14 268 (W) 551 ptly cldy humid 00:00 12 263 (W) 554 mstly cldy humid 01:00 15 271 (W) 571 mstly cldy humid 02:00 13 269 (W) 717 mstly cldy humid 03:00 15 286 (WNW) 711 mstly cldy humid 04:00 12 273 (W) 670 mstly cldy lt rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
