We started out clear, with nasty storms on all sides but not immediate. We managed to get some useful data for a few hours, until the storms closed in. They dumped an awful lot of rain on us, and we stayed closed the rest of the night. WE called it quits just after 6:00. ------- 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 C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 55 46 7 261 (W) 314 cloudy humid 17:00 55 44 9 194 (SSW) 266 cloudy humid 18:00 51 45 7 194 (SSW) 344 mstly clr humid 19:00 51 37 15 183 (S) 197 clear none 20:00 51 35 12 184 (S) 204 clear none 21:00 51 36 18 183 (S) 254 ptly cldy none 22:00 47 45 12 166 (SSE) 399 cloudy rain 23:00 48 43 10 179 (S) 546 cloudy rain 00:00 47 45 17 134 (SE) 332 cloudy rain 01:00 44 44 7 248 (WSW) 123537 cloudy humid 02:00 43 42 17 124 (SE) 209 cloudy rain 03:00 43 41 18 138 (SE) 75 cloudy humid 04:00 44 42 18 154 (SSE) 355 cloudy rain 05:00 42 42 18 151 (SSE) 548 cloudy rain 06:00 43 43 15 145 (SE) 144277 cloudy rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
