Around 22:00, decided to risk an opening. As if on cue, the humidity began to spike again, to the point we had to close at 22:37. Fog rolled in shortly after 23:00. Humidity stayed around the 90% mark for the rest of 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:14 AGILE 890( -985) 115 46 12.2 13.0 13.9 12.9 12.8 BG40-B 1.03 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 51 49 14 81 (E) cloudy rain 17:00 53 45 10 82 (E) cloudy lt rain 18:00 52 50 2 129 (SE) cloudy humid 19:00 54 46 5 71 (ENE) cloudy humid 20:00 52 51 10 58 (ENE) ptly cldy humid 21:00 54 48 8 89 (E) mstly clr none 22:00 55 46 5 105 (ESE) mstly clr none 23:00 50 50 13 87 (E) mstly clr fog 00:00 51 50 7 91 (E) mstly clr humid 01:00 51 49 6 90 (E) mstly clr humid 02:00 52 47 3 116 (ESE) mstly clr humid 03:00 51 47 6 185 (S) clear humid 04:00 51 48 8 186 (S) clear humid 05:00 50 48 1 182 (S) clear humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
