But once some real rain had fallen things improved pretty quickly. Adler was able to get one target after a quick-and-dirty focus that I didn't bother to record. Then DIS finished out the night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03:24 dcamera 285( 620) -135 59 15.5 16.3 16.6 16.3 15.9 - 1.34 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 72 33 15 267 (W) 1288 ptly cldy none 17:00 72 31 15 287 (WNW) 1064 ptly cldy none 18:00 71 29 6 277 (W) 843 mstly cldy none 19:00 67 35 6 249 (WSW) 1321 cloudy lt rain 20:00 60 37 11 343 (NNW) 3669 cloudy lt rain 21:00 63 33 22 33 (NNE) 773 cloudy none 22:00 65 31 12 115 (ESE) 840 cloudy none 23:00 63 32 10 38 (NE) 795 cloudy none 00:00 65 32 5 269 (W) 1012 cloudy none 01:00 62 32 1 112 (ESE) 811 cloudy rain 02:00 57 39 10 145 (SE) 1088 mstly cldy none 03:00 60 33 7 279 (W) 639 ptly cldy none 04:00 60 35 5 200 (SSW) 978 mstly clr none 05:00 60 36 9 262 (W) 1139 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
