There were scattered showers in the area on radar, but they started to disperse around midnight. We opened, and remained open. There was a period from 0200-0300 where though we remained open, the skies were too cloudy for data, and the observer took cals instead. By 0300 the clouds blew out, and it was clear until morning. Ecam was tested through the night, and is still showing signs of that brighter stripe to the left-hand side. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:17 dcamera 411( 1232) 222 74 20.8 22.1 22.4 22.2 22.0 - 1.41 01:30 arctic 475( 1433) 50 45 21.6 21.5 22.0 21.4 21.4 SDSS-r 2.08 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 80 36 11 313 (NW) 710 clear none 17:00 80 35 5 327 (NNW) 672 mstly clr none 18:00 80 35 7 261 (W) 626 ptly cldy none 19:00 78 33 16 336 (NNW) 634 mstly cldy none 20:00 74 34 14 277 (W) 2714 mstly cldy none 21:00 72 36 8 56 (NE) 792 mstly cldy none 22:00 71 33 2 89 (E) 2256 ptly cldy none 23:00 72 32 6 0 (N) 1201 ptly cldy none 00:00 70 32 4 115 (ESE) 1316 ptly cldy none 01:00 71 32 6 220 (SW) 1173 ptly cldy none 02:00 72 32 3 239 (WSW) 1204 mstly cldy none 03:00 71 32 7 233 (SW) 1252 mstly clr none 04:00 70 33 3 173 (S) 1164 clear none 05:00 70 32 2 241 (WSW) 1210 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
