Towards the end of CU01, we lost weather communications, wifi, and had spotty internet. This is why there is some missing information in the weather data below. John Brinkmann stepped in to bring us back up, but during this time we remained closed due to weather threats. Opened for the last 10 minutes of the Adler program. Closed again at 04:00 due to clouds and humidity. Gave up at 05:20. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:23 ecamera 310(-1041) 30 54 -0.9 0.7 0.9 0.7 -0.6 ND1 0.81 01:33 dcamera 381( -31) 231 71 -1.1 -1.2 -0.7 -1.1 -1.4 -- 2.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 0 -7 15 212 (SSW) 818 clear none 17:00 0 -7 18 222 (SW) 749 clear none 18:00 -1 -7 21 205 (SSW) 754 clear none 19:00 -1 -8 25 206 (SSW) 639 mstly clr none 20:00 0 -8 19 185 (S) 560 mstly clr none 21:00 0 -6 28 194 (SSW) 788 ptly cldy none 22:00 0 -7 32 198 (SSW) 746 mstly cldy none 01:00 -1 -6 24 207 (SSW) 869 mstly clr none 02:00 -1 -6 19 211 (SSW) 842 ptly cldy none 03:00 -2 -6 20 224 (SW) 825 ptly cldy none 04:00 -2 -5 19 205 (SSW) 863 mstly cldy none 05:00 -2 -5 18 208 (SSW) 982 mstly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
