We never opened the rest of the night due to clouds and nearby radar returns. With no hope of opening due to the cloud system over us, I called it for the night at 03:50. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:43 dcamera 462( 187) -98 49 -0.4 1.1 0.9 1.3 0.0 -- 1.30 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 32 27 17 342 (NNW) 196 mstly clr none 17:00 31 26 11 325 (NW) 178 mstly clr none 18:00 32 25 6 355 (N) 117 mstly clr none 19:00 32 24 12 329 (NNW) 125 ptly cldy none 20:00 32 25 8 340 (NNW) 105 mstly cldy none 21:00 32 25 10 339 (NNW) 127 cloudy none 22:00 32 24 11 348 (NNW) 116 cloudy none 23:00 32 27 6 351 (N) 170 cloudy none 00:00 32 27 2 338 (NNW) 238 cloudy none 01:00 32 25 3 351 (N) 142 cloudy none 02:00 32 26 7 29 (NNE) 182 cloudy none 03:00 33 26 5 23 (NNE) 170 cloudy none 04:00 33 25 6 265 (W) 178 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
