Anyway she logged off what seemed abruptly and didn't log back in for about the last hour of the run. Not sure if this was a connection issue or what. APOLLO worked thru the clouds. They got a few photons back but the clouds hindered things. Lots of clouds most of the night with clearing around 03:00 No problems otherwise. ------- 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 F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 19 11 244 (WSW) 446 cloudy none 17:00 50 18 11 231 (SW) 481 cloudy none 18:00 47 14 10 235 (SW) 463 cloudy none 19:00 47 14 12 229 (SW) 533 cloudy none 20:00 46 13 12 238 (WSW) 578 cloudy none 21:00 45 14 8 261 (W) 789 cloudy none 22:00 45 15 12 248 (WSW) 802 ptly cldy none 23:00 47 14 10 262 (W) 610 ptly cldy none 00:00 46 14 12 266 (W) 718 ptly cldy none 01:00 46 15 12 281 (W) 635 ptly cldy none 02:00 46 14 12 282 (WNW) 539 mstly cldy none 03:00 45 13 13 313 (NW) 499 mstly clr none 04:00 45 13 12 309 (NW) 447 clear none 05:00 45 14 15 324 (NW) 487 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
