It was also cloudy, most of the night, and humid all night anyhow. Lots of frosty white pine trees at 04:00AM with all the humidity outside. I left the dome parked due South this morning. Not sure on snow accumulation from yesterday on roof. ------- 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 20 18 17 271 (W) 16492 cloudy humid 17:00 20 18 14 265 (W) 19958 cloudy humid 18:00 20 18 13 264 (W) 12830 cloudy humid 19:00 21 18 13 264 (W) 13128 cloudy humid 20:00 20 18 14 268 (W) 11416 cloudy lt snow 21:00 20 17 17 272 (W) 472 cloudy humid 22:00 19 17 11 275 (W) 503 cloudy humid 23:00 18 15 11 303 (WNW) 728 cloudy humid 00:00 19 16 10 274 (W) 4138 cloudy humid 01:00 19 16 11 286 (WNW) 2962 cloudy humid 02:00 17 14 11 303 (WNW) 477 ptly cldy humid 03:00 16 14 11 309 (NW) 499 mstly clr humid 04:00 15 12 10 334 (NNW) 338 mstly clr humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
