The night started with clouds. Light rain hit around 21:00 and winds gusted to 50mph. We were not able to open for all of A half. However, thing miraculously cleared around 2:30 and we were able to observe the rest of the night, though seeing was poor. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:42 dcamera 409( 571) -6 34 10.8 12.6 14.2 12.4 11.6 -- 1.80 02:50 dcamera 541( 620) -24 30 9.8 10.8 11.9 10.6 10.4 -- 2.24 04:18 dcamera 641( 672) -43 20 9.8 9.7 10.6 9.6 9.6 -- 1.93 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 22 4 162 (SSE) 717 ptly cldy none 17:00 66 21 7 188 (S) 797 mstly cldy none 18:00 65 21 10 189 (S) 712 mstly cldy none 19:00 61 18 13 146 (SE) 669 cloudy none 20:00 60 16 11 146 (SE) 713 cloudy none 21:00 59 18 25 158 (SSE) 973 cloudy lt rain 22:00 56 27 9 180 (S) 1252 cloudy none 23:00 56 28 14 203 (SSW) 1521 cloudy none 00:00 54 28 29 223 (SW) 3003 cloudy none 01:00 54 27 13 182 (S) 1903 cloudy none 02:00 51 28 17 193 (SSW) 2038 clear none 03:00 51 24 9 270 (W) 2339 clear none 04:00 50 20 12 322 (NW) 1652 clear none 05:00 50 20 8 300 (WNW) 1188 clear none 06:00 50 18 7 272 (W) 736 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
