Clouds and nearby radar and high humidity kept us closed almost all night, until the clouds finally cleared after 4 am. The 3.5-m sensor seems to be misreading the climate, see PR 1537 for details. No problems the remainder of the night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04:25 dcamera 269( 609) -69 56 12.5 13.3 14.5 13.3 12.5 -- 1.08 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 60 45 2 252 (WSW) 1554 cloudy lt rain 17:00 59 44 11 221 (SW) 1737 cloudy none 18:00 58 45 5 194 (SSW) 1790 cloudy none 19:00 57 45 10 125 (SE) 1934 cloudy none 20:00 56 48 7 90 (E) 1940 cloudy none 21:00 54 50 12 109 (ESE) 1506 cloudy humid 22:00 54 48 12 115 (ESE) 1755 cloudy none 23:00 53 26 11 126 (SE) 2118 cloudy none 00:00 56 34 10 168 (SSE) 2084 cloudy none 01:00 56 32 11 182 (S) 2078 cloudy none 02:00 56 32 13 158 (SSE) 2185 cloudy none 03:00 56 31 9 155 (SSE) 1611 cloudy none 04:00 54 30 10 174 (S) 1834 mstly clr none 05:00 54 30 11 185 (S) 1884 ptly cldy none 06:00 53 33 12 162 (SSE) 2036 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
