The sky cleared nicely after midnight, and the second half of the night was photometric. Seeing was good to moderate. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:23 dcamera 386( 500) 120 51 8.5 8.8 9.1 8.6 8.2 - 1.51 01:24 SPIcam 342( 501) -58 60 7.6 6.9 7.4 6.9 7.4 g 1.02 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 17 270 (W) 614 mstly cldy none 17:00 15 247 (WSW) 607 mstly cldy none 18:00 24 268 (W) 716 mstly cldy none 19:00 21 259 (W) 628 mstly cldy none 20:00 12 238 (WSW) 614 ptly cldy none 21:00 16 257 (WSW) 664 ptly cldy none 22:00 14 257 (WSW) 600 ptly cldy none 23:00 11 264 (W) 747 ptly cldy none 00:00 11 297 (WNW) 719 mstly clr none 01:00 9 275 (W) 741 clear none 02:00 12 274 (W) 727 clear none 03:00 15 267 (W) 809 clear none 04:00 9 313 (NW) 877 clear none 05:00 13 351 (N) 774 clear none 06:00 8 328 (NNW) 875 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
