Around 20:00 an orthographic cloud formed, and hung over a large potion of the sky. It broke up by 22:00, and the sky was clear. Observing was nice and uneventful, with fair seeing. We stayed open all 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:09 ecamera 795( -33) -36 68 11.8 14.2 14.2 14.3 13.6 ND3 1.22 23:28 ecamera 802( -251) -13 54 9.8 9.7 10.3 9.4 9.4 ND3 1.29 01:16 arctic 761( 847) -3 63 8.1 8.6 9.2 8.5 8.5 SDSS-r 2.04 03:15 ecamera 835( -278) 47 47 8.8 8.4 9.0 8.5 8.6 ND2 1.76 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 56 32 8 218 (SW) 365 mstly clr none 17:00 58 30 10 228 (SW) 345 mstly clr none 18:00 61 30 8 232 (SW) 401 ptly cldy none 19:00 58 28 10 190 (S) 345 ptly cldy none 20:00 53 28 11 172 (S) 383 ptly cldy none 21:00 52 28 12 141 (SE) 371 mstly clr none 22:00 49 31 9 124 (SE) 403 clear none 23:00 49 29 13 135 (SE) 382 clear none 00:00 49 28 10 133 (SE) 399 clear none 01:00 48 29 8 165 (SSE) clear none 02:00 46 30 8 144 (SE) clear none 03:00 50 27 9 182 (S) clear none 04:00 48 29 2 202 (SSW) clear none 05:00 48 28 9 180 (S) 563 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
