We did as much as we could in the way of TCC testing, while being mindful of potential power issues. We practiced changing the tcc, and reducing tpoint data. Otherwise, we waited out the storm and watched the hail fall. Rotator was zeroed--0.33 Note--our dewpoint sensor seems a bit wonky. It was reading significantly lower than the 2.5 readings. And the outside dust counter is flatlined. ------- 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 60 46 18 74 (ENE) 967 cloudy humid 17:00 62 49 9 84 (E) 967 cloudy humid 18:00 60 53 11 74 (ENE) 967 cloudy none 19:00 61 38 2 332 (NNW) 967 cloudy none 20:00 58 30 8 325 (NW) 967 cloudy none 21:00 57 30 8 89 (E) 967 cloudy none 22:00 57 35 16 77 (ENE) 967 mstly cldy none 23:00 57 34 12 83 (E) 967 mstly cldy none 00:00 56 32 13 83 (E) 967 cloudy humid 01:00 57 32 8 87 (E) 967 cloudy humid 02:00 51 25 13 104 (ESE) 967 cloudy rain 03:00 47 31 18 74 (ENE) 967 cloudy rain 04:00 47 31 21 82 (E) 967 cloudy humid 05:00 49 31 17 90 (E) 967 cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
