It was only after 03:00 am that humidity finally rose high enough to force us closed. The observer called it at 5 am as there was not enough dark time left for the program's science. Waited until 05:30 to do fills. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:38 ecamera 137 245.2 69.3 13.1 14.4 14.6 13.95 13.1 ND3 0.67 21:43 ecamera 247 274.1 55.7 13.2 13.2 13.8 13.2 12.9 clear 0.94 01:20 AGILE 272 188.0 44.0 12.2 12.0 12.5 12.0 11.8 BG40 1.32 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 59 46 16 223 (SW) 415 clear none 17:00 58 47 11 236 (SW) 368 clear none 18:00 64 50 9 223 (SW) 448 clear none 19:00 59 45 9 266 (W) 425 clear none 20:00 55 47 8 235 (SW) 466 clear none 21:00 56 46 10 196 (SSW) 429 clear none 22:00 56 45 12 216 (SW) 404 clear none 23:00 56 45 6 208 (SSW) 394 clear none 00:00 55 45 11 224 (SW) 376 clear none 01:00 54 45 10 215 (SW) 438 clear none 02:00 54 47 10 214 (SW) 481 clear none 03:00 54 47 11 240 (WSW) 437 clear none 04:00 52 49 9 256 (WSW) 519 clear humid 05:00 51 49 8 229 (SW) 447 clear humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
