Everything came back as it should. We opened on time to good seeing and clear skies, but that changed after 01:00 when a storm in the west encroached on our western county line, and we were forced closed due to rain threat. Weather never improved. Gave up at 04:30. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:45 dcamera 200( 845) -58 76 17.3 19.5 19.5 18.7 17.8 -- 1.58 00:27 SPIcam 302( 887) -15 56 14.7 15.2 15.8 15.0 14.7 SDSSr 1.36 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 62 36 14 90 (E) 357 mstly cldy none 17:00 68 35 6 99 (E) 353 ptly cldy none 18:00 70 34 3 98 (E) 360 ptly cldy none 19:00 68 36 6 95 (E) 386 mstly clr none 20:00 65 36 8 84 (E) 404 mstly clr none 21:00 62 39 14 108 (ESE) 395 clear none 22:00 62 38 11 96 (E) 452 clear none 23:00 61 43 19 110 (ESE) 696 clear none 00:00 60 45 19 120 (ESE) 825 clear none 01:00 57 46 17 112 (ESE) 750 clear none 02:00 59 44 13 101 (E) 733 cloudy none 03:00 52 49 20 74 (ENE) 728 cloudy humid 04:00 52 50 6 172 (S) 801 cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
