Rain at 21:55. Rain lasted for about an hour. Cleared enough overhead and in the area to allow opening at midnight. Seeing was so-so. A system started coming from the south around 03:30, closed the dome at 04:00. Hudity spiked around 04:15 and rain started by 04:30. Not enough time for the system to dissipate before dawn, called 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:14 dcamera 608( 907) 148 43 15.0 15.4 15.6 15.6 15.3 clear 1.72 01:19 dcamera 654( 924) 32 69 15.0 15.2 15.5 15.3 15.1 clear 1.32 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 67 47 7 191 (S) 742 mstly cldy none 17:00 67 48 7 184 (S) 931 mstly cldy none 18:00 66 49 10 201 (SSW) 1588 mstly cldy none 19:00 66 50 11 248 (WSW) 1603 mstly cldy none 20:00 61 50 5 253 (WSW) 1337 mstly cldy none 21:00 58 50 10 113 (ESE) 1013 mstly cldy none 22:00 56 48 15 150 (SSE) 538 mstly cldy lt rain 23:00 57 45 11 175 (S) 369 ptly cldy none 00:00 59 43 11 183 (S) 392 ptly cldy none 01:00 60 41 8 226 (SW) 299 ptly cldy none 02:00 58 44 5 188 (S) 425 mstly clr none 03:00 57 46 8 191 (S) 761 ptly cldy none 04:00 58 46 18 225 (SW) 635 cloudy lt rain 05:00 52 53 15 177 (S) 71355 cloudy rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
