The night started out pretty well, but clouds and wind closed us after a few hours. The clouds never let up, and the wind left tons of dust in its wake. We never reopened. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:00 dcamera 485( 487) 182 54 5.8 6.6 7.0 6.5 5.8 -- 1.89 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 47 25 15 204 (SSW) 1150 mstly clr wind 17:00 47 18 26 245 (WSW) 907 mstly clr wind 18:00 45 11 22 251 (WSW) 1752 mstly clr wind 19:00 44 10 21 235 (SW) 1707 mstly cldy wind 20:00 43 8 23 234 (SW) 2450 clear wind 21:00 42 10 28 224 (SW) 1910 ptly cldy wind 22:00 43 12 33 265 (W) 2007 cloudy wind 23:00 42 12 27 258 (WSW) 2392 cloudy wind 00:00 41 11 30 254 (WSW) 1483 cloudy wind 01:00 40 11 35 247 (WSW) 1458 cloudy wind 02:00 39 11 37 270 (W) 2435 cloudy dust 03:00 37 15 29 266 (W) 3887 cloudy dust 04:00 35 17 17 244 (WSW) 3570 cloudy dust 05:00 33 19 10 269 (W) 13716 cloudy dust Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
