Opened once again, and closed almost immdiately, since it seems our opening caused a large bank of opaque clouds to form overhead. The night improved after 1AM, though it was never completely clear, the threat of rain did pass, allowing for observing. J Bary's students: Max Kurzner,Muriel Drexler,Sarah Reid, Chris Garling, Tracy Huard. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:49 dcamera 447( 846) -73 70 16.5 17.7 18.0 17.7 16.9 -- 1.19 01:19 tcamera 497( 967) -55 50 14.3 14.9 15.3 15.0 14.4 Ks 1.12 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 62 37 10 84 (E) 1374 mstly cldy none 17:00 63 35 8 99 (E) 916 mstly cldy none 18:00 67 37 9 138 (SE) 899 mstly cldy none 19:00 66 39 2 105 (ESE) 1454 mstly cldy none 20:00 63 40 8 114 (ESE) 934 mstly cldy none 21:00 62 43 13 112 (ESE) 2005 mstly cldy none 22:00 60 42 7 63 (ENE) 1860 ptly cldy none 23:00 60 43 5 97 (E) 1905 ptly cldy none 00:00 60 43 4 100 (E) 1997 ptly cldy none 01:00 58 43 9 89 (E) 1778 mstly clr none 02:00 57 44 14 80 (E) 1719 mstly clr none 03:00 58 43 12 80 (E) 1760 mstly clr none 04:00 57 43 9 82 (E) 1447 mstly clr none 05:00 56 43 13 75 (ENE) 1392 mstly clr none 06:00 55 46 15 75 (ENE) 1952 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
