NICPFS was looking noisy so I did a power cycle and now it looks better. The night started foggy and we were not able to open. UW10 decided to give up at 02:35am. I waited until 04:00 to start fills. Untrained observer was Bob Abel. ------- 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 39 39 17 192 (SSW) 1638 cloudy fog 17:00 38 38 20 227 (SW) 12604 cloudy fog 18:00 37 36 17 209 (SSW) 720 cloudy fog 19:00 36 35 19 216 (SW) 541 cloudy fog 20:00 37 36 15 212 (SSW) 1089 cloudy fog 21:00 39 38 17 206 (SSW) 8431 cloudy fog 22:00 39 38 22 198 (SSW) 2682 cloudy none 23:00 39 40 25 187 (S) 63378 cloudy fog 00:00 39 39 18 185 (S) 76017 cloudy fog 01:00 39 39 23 204 (SSW) 41268 cloudy fog 02:00 39 39 22 212 (SSW) 16359 cloudy fog 03:00 36 37 7 243 (WSW) 33029 cloudy fog Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
