Most of the night was clear with variable seeing. The last few hours were lost to very thick clouds and nearby radar returns. We called it a night at 5:30. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:09 AGILE 514(-1909) 33 63 -1.3 -0.5 -0.4 -0.8 -1.6 sdss g 1.30 00:46 dcamera 355( -2) -6 59 -0.1 -0.2 0.2 -0.2 -0.3 -- 1.16 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 31 -5 4 18 (NNE) 89 clear none 17:00 35 -3 9 311 (NW) 38 clear none 18:00 31 0 13 340 (NNW) 112 clear none 19:00 31 0 8 328 (NNW) 55 mstly clr none 20:00 32 0 10 302 (WNW) 74 mstly clr none 21:00 32 -4 9 270 (W) 52 mstly clr none 22:00 34 -5 16 254 (WSW) 40 mstly clr none 23:00 34 -6 21 264 (W) 111 mstly clr none 00:00 32 -7 17 257 (WSW) 59 ptly cldy none 01:00 32 -8 17 248 (WSW) 114 cloudy none 02:00 32 -4 15 263 (W) 68 cloudy none 03:00 32 -5 12 255 (WSW) 50 cloudy none 04:00 32 -3 15 231 (SW) 86 cloudy none 05:00 35 1 20 247 (WSW) 72 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
