Seeing was mostly good after that, with a period of about 2 hours where things looked really terrible. But the seeing settled down after that. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:20 dcamera 677( 1382) 280 65 16.7 20.7 20.4 21.2 17.5 -- 1.50 21:39 dcamera 458( 999) -8 71 15.8 17.5 17.7 17.1 16.0 -- 1.44 00:28 dcamera 393( 843) 133 25 14.0 14.5 14.9 14.2 13.9 -- 3.11 02:24 dcamera 568( 997) 117 40 15.8 14.7 15.3 14.9 15.1 -- 1.39 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 73 36 14 293 (WNW) 1275 ptly cldy none 17:00 73 38 9 252 (WSW) 1265 ptly cldy none 18:00 75 36 13 213 (SSW) 1127 ptly cldy none 19:00 70 33 15 263 (W) 1045 ptly cldy none 20:00 68 31 9 223 (SW) 883 ptly cldy none 21:00 63 41 11 146 (SE) 1789 ptly cldy none 22:00 62 42 14 161 (SSE) 2176 clear none 23:00 60 45 21 145 (SE) 2465 clear none 00:00 59 45 18 146 (SE) 2713 clear none 01:00 58 44 16 162 (SSE) 2412 clear none 02:00 57 43 8 181 (S) 1642 clear none 03:00 61 41 11 241 (WSW) 1462 mstly clr none 04:00 60 42 4 199 (SSW) 1542 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
