The evening started with complete cloud coverage. There was a possibility of rain at the beginning of the night but we were able to open right on time. We fought with the clouds for all of A half and some of B half. However, everything cleared up nicely around 2am. No problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:00 ecamera 816( -317) 261 74 6.8 8.2 8.6 8.3 7.5 Clear 1.11 00:13 ecamera 885( -338) 167 73 6.6 6.5 7.0 6.7 6.6 ND2 1.24 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 49 5 20 259 (W) 1612 cloudy none 17:00 49 5 17 262 (W) 1387 cloudy none 18:00 48 4 16 253 (WSW) 1610 cloudy none 19:00 46 8 21 257 (WSW) 1236 mstly cldy none 20:00 45 11 23 234 (SW) 1425 mstly cldy none 21:00 44 12 13 251 (WSW) 1771 mstly cldy none 22:00 43 13 12 258 (WSW) 1930 mstly cldy none 23:00 43 13 8 268 (W) 1729 mstly cldy none 00:00 45 6 16 293 (WNW) 1545 mstly cldy none 01:00 44 1 11 315 (NW) 1720 mstly cldy none 02:00 44 1 12 315 (NW) 1639 clear none 03:00 44 0 16 304 (NW) 1656 clear none 04:00 45 -3 11 273 (W) 2138 clear none 05:00 44 -3 21 318 (NW) 2025 clear none 06:00 44 -2 7 283 (WNW) 2183 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
