I completed the remaining in-dome tasks on the engineering list- see separate email- and worked on updating the filter inventory. The snow was not sticking much, and the temperatue never got more than a degree below freezing, so I did not run the snow program. Agile was powered off at the end of the night. Complete fills at 05:00. Less than 1/4" of snow on the grass at bedtime. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 48 18 10 229 (SW) 3064 cloudy none 17:00 44 18 18 247 (WSW) 3194 cloudy none 18:00 43 19 21 246 (WSW) 2744 cloudy none 19:00 40 14 12 268 (W) 1261 cloudy none 20:00 39 15 11 299 (WNW) 1285 cloudy none 21:00 39 15 11 284 (WNW) 1282 cloudy none 22:00 38 17 12 268 (W) 1288 cloudy none 23:00 36 22 10 283 (WNW) 1231 cloudy lt rain 00:00 31 28 5 346 (NNW) 2051 cloudy lt rain 01:00 32 27 5 260 (W) 1182 cloudy lt snow 02:00 31 28 13 267 (W) 1607 cloudy humid 03:00 30 28 12 281 (W) 1782 cloudy humid 04:00 30 28 12 290 (WNW) 1684 mstly cldy humid 05:00 29 28 17 293 (WNW) 1481 cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
