It was ridiculously good, 0.6 in SDSS r. The night was beautiful, with fantastic seeing. A front blew in after midnight, with two banks of clouds sitting on either side of the peak and one burst of high wind gusts. Didn't give us any problems, though. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:55 ecamera 548( -543) 222 63 8.3 9.0 9.2 8.7 8.0 ND1 0.77 00:10 arctic SDSS r 0.6 01:21 ecamera 519( -650) 312 51 7.8 7.3 7.7 7.4 7.4 ND1 0.76 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 54 22 14 254 (WSW) 1009 clear none 17:00 51 20 17 231 (SW) 1157 clear none 18:00 53 19 15 226 (SW) 1351 clear none 19:00 49 18 15 231 (SW) 1146 mstly clr none 20:00 47 18 12 225 (SW) 1147 mstly clr none 21:00 46 16 16 205 (SSW) 998 mstly clr none 22:00 47 15 13 212 (SSW) 1042 mstly clr none 23:00 47 15 13 211 (SSW) 1132 mstly clr none 00:00 47 14 16 242 (WSW) 1072 mstly clr none 01:00 46 13 15 211 (SSW) 982 mstly clr none 02:00 46 14 20 213 (SSW) 1033 mstly clr none 03:00 47 17 21 219 (SW) 1280 ptly cldy none 04:00 46 15 21 216 (SW) 1107 ptly cldy none 05:00 45 18 15 216 (SW) 1422 ptly cldy none 06:00 42 19 15 237 (WSW) 1533 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
