The night started out humid and with areas of fog. We were able to open at 18:06 when the humidity dropped to safe levels. We closed again at 19:45 due to high humidity and fog. We reopened at 22:30 and stayed open the rest 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:10 ecamera 583( -790) 231 62 0.9 3.5 5.0 3.5 2.2 ND2 1.40 19:10 ecamera 520( -938) 145 59 1.1 1.8 2.7 1.5 1.0 ND2 1.30 22:49 ecamera 527(-1014) 144 72 -0.8 0.3 1.5 0.1 -0.6 ND3 1.40 23:12 arctic 527( 180) 154 80 -1.1 -0.2 0.8 -0.4 -0.8 SDSS-r 1.50 01:13 ecamera 591(-1051) -42 72 -1.7 -1.7 -1.0 -1.6 -1.8 ND3 1.20 05:22 ecamera 512(-1203) -161 77 -2.4 -3.1 -2.5 -3.0 -2.8 ND3 1.10 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 35 28 19 219 (SW) 306 mstly clr humid 17:00 33 31 22 222 (SW) 311 mstly clr humid 18:00 33 26 25 235 (SW) 302 clear humid 19:00 34 26 20 256 (WSW) 347 cloudy humid 20:00 33 32 17 235 (SW) 587 cloudy humid 21:00 33 33 25 240 (WSW) 598890 cloudy humid 22:00 30 28 19 269 (W) 691 clear none 23:00 30 20 19 268 (W) 278 clear none 00:00 30 17 29 270 (W) 365 clear none 01:00 29 14 22 264 (W) 252 clear none 02:00 29 12 22 286 (WNW) 175 clear none 03:00 27 11 16 270 (W) 184 clear none 04:00 27 9 13 279 (W) 180 clear none 05:00 26 3 17 298 (WNW) 225 clear none 06:00 27 -1 13 329 (NNW) 247 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
