Poor seeing tonight as the winds came out of the East. APOLLO had some laser problems, possibly related to the colder weather, so they finished earlier than usual. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:21 dcamera 707( 133) 146 77 -3.7 -1.4 0.5 -1.5 -2.5 -- 1.66 00:04 dcamera 379( -297) 118 58 -4.3 -3.5 -2.4 -3.6 -3.9 -- 1.60 04:40 APOLLO 479( 730) 70 19 -3.2 -3.6 -3.2 -3.6 -3.4 -- 2.50 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 28 24 6 301 (WNW) 440 cloudy none 17:00 29 24 1 293 (WNW) 385 cloudy none 18:00 32 25 14 314 (NW) 366 cloudy none 19:00 29 21 7 268 (W) 395 cloudy none 20:00 28 22 8 291 (WNW) 366 mstly cldy humid 21:00 26 23 2 321 (NW) 405 ptly cldy humid 22:00 25 22 7 1 (N) 346 mstly clr none 23:00 26 20 8 19 (NNE) 240 clear none 00:00 27 19 9 15 (NNE) 226 clear none 01:00 25 18 14 51 (NE) 195 clear none 02:00 25 14 22 64 (ENE) 211 clear none 03:00 25 7 25 69 (ENE) 589 clear none 04:00 26 6 20 64 (ENE) 587 clear none 05:00 26 5 24 62 (ENE) 498 clear none 06:00 25 6 12 42 (NE) 499 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
