We attempted Shack-Hartman, then moved to echelle pointing and sag coefs. A storm formed to the south of us, and we closed around 03:45. Thunderstorms hit us at 4:15. We did not open again. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:46 dcamera 744( 752) 204 79 8.3 10.1 10.9 10.0 9.8 - 1.45 00:12 dcamera 654( 579) 237 66 7.2 8.4 9.0 8.4 8.1 - 1.48 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 56 25 14 196 (SSW) 1606 mstly cldy none 17:00 56 28 15 213 (SSW) 1628 mstly cldy none 18:00 54 25 17 185 (S) 1675 mstly cldy none 19:00 51 25 15 127 (SE) 1790 mstly cldy none 20:00 50 27 13 149 (SSE) 1942 mstly cldy none 21:00 50 26 20 131 (SE) 1898 mstly cldy none 22:00 47 30 12 91 (E) 2015 ptly cldy none 23:00 47 31 13 112 (ESE) 2131 ptly cldy none 00:00 45 31 13 126 (SE) 2480 ptly cldy none 01:00 45 31 14 117 (ESE) 2647 ptly cldy none 02:00 47 31 16 137 (SE) 2176 ptly cldy none 03:00 48 31 17 151 (SSE) 2647 mstly cldy none 04:00 47 31 16 129 (SE) 2630 mstly cldy rain 05:00 47 31 22 179 (S) mstly cldy lt rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
