We closed the mirror covers to wait it out--we did not close. The clouds cleared just before 01:00, so we switched to JH02. The rest of the night was clear, with seeing varying between 1.3" and 2.3" (despite the consistent numbers in this log). ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:02 dcamera 424( 431) 122 63 4.0 6.9 6.7 7.7 4.4 -- 1.38 00:10 ecamera 820( -343) 29 56 4.7 4.5 4.7 4.5 4.6 ND3 1.46 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 48 9 10 264 (W) 1059 mstly clr none 17:00 48 6 15 218 (SW) 1130 mstly clr none 18:00 48 5 14 192 (SSW) 1302 mstly clr none 19:00 41 3 10 196 (SSW) 1324 mstly clr none 20:00 39 2 14 180 (S) 1476 mstly clr none 21:00 40 3 16 195 (SSW) 1503 mstly cldy none 22:00 40 2 16 203 (SSW) 1715 cloudy none 23:00 42 0 16 218 (SW) 1789 cloudy none 00:00 41 1 20 236 (SW) 1719 cloudy none 01:00 40 0 17 238 (WSW) 1880 clear none 02:00 41 -1 14 260 (W) 2186 clear none 03:00 41 0 19 261 (W) 1746 clear none 04:00 42 2 19 273 (W) 2223 clear none 05:00 41 1 13 257 (WSW) 1981 clear none 06:00 41 1 15 263 (W) 1862 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
