We did not get to open. I rant the snow program for most of the night, and left the telescope pointing south. I also cleared whatever was on the catwalk. There was only a light dusting on sidewalks. ------- 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 28 23 10 275 (W) 62 cloudy humid 17:00 29 22 16 290 (WNW) 127 cloudy humid 18:00 28 24 17 292 (WNW) 63 cloudy humid 19:00 29 28 19 269 (W) 81 cloudy humid 20:00 29 28 22 314 (NW) 129 cloudy humid 21:00 29 28 13 264 (W) 106 cloudy fog 22:00 28 28 15 239 (WSW) 4076 cloudy fog 23:00 29 29 17 272 (W) 6004 cloudy lt snow 00:00 29 29 20 265 (W) 14817 cloudy fog 01:00 29 29 17 267 (W) 12622 cloudy lt snow 02:00 29 29 18 263 (W) 13415 cloudy lt snow 03:00 29 29 23 266 (W) 18530 cloudy lt snow 04:00 29 28 17 252 (WSW) 29511 cloudy lt snow 05:00 28 28 14 281 (W) 68069 cloudy lt snow Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
