Target were out of it most times, but we ran out of luck when gusts reached 40 mph at 04:00 and changed direction. Closed, and the winds never allowed us to open again. Called it at 05:30. Completed fills, with no telescope problems. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:32 dcamera 595( 648) 143 77 6.3 8.0 8.0 8.2 6.5 -- 1.94 01:29 dcamera 621( 466) 239 40 2.8 3.2 3.9 3.2 2.8 -- 2.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 49 14 25 279 (W) 1703 clear none 17:00 51 15 20 264 (W) 1550 clear none 18:00 51 14 28 304 (NW) 1621 clear none 19:00 48 12 18 358 (N) 2859 clear none 20:00 45 12 20 350 (N) 2158 clear none 21:00 43 11 22 345 (NNW) 2053 clear none 22:00 42 9 8 358 (N) 1964 clear none 23:00 41 4 27 342 (NNW) 1581 clear none 00:00 39 4 13 345 (NNW) 1157 clear none 01:00 38 4 16 326 (NW) 1299 clear none 02:00 36 6 19 341 (NNW) 2136 clear none 03:00 33 5 13 12 (NNE) 3145 clear none 04:00 31 1 34 17 (NNE) 2142 clear none 05:00 29 0 16 29 (NNE) 1306 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
