The storms did not come, but we did get a light sprinkling which passed by 22:00. By 01:30 humidity was low enough, and the skies, though not perfect, did allow for observing, so we opened at 01:30. Seeing was pretty bad, and clouds came and went, but observing was done. By 4:40, humidity was spiking, and we called it a 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:36 dcamera 65( 534) 97 50 13.8 14.9 16.7 14.9 14.6 - 2.56 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 70 46 3 275 (W) 1420 cloudy none 17:00 67 49 12 83 (E) 1550 cloudy none 18:00 63 49 7 63 (ENE) 1749 cloudy none 19:00 58 47 17 14 (NNE) 12442 cloudy none 20:00 53 46 22 348 (NNW) 2564 cloudy none 21:00 58 39 13 211 (SSW) 563 cloudy lt rain 22:00 57 42 9 131 (SE) 1887 cloudy none 23:00 58 40 3 117 (ESE) 909 cloudy none 00:00 57 47 15 149 (SSE) 2777 cloudy none 01:00 57 49 16 145 (SE) 2286 ptly cldy none 02:00 56 50 16 147 (SSE) ptly cldy none 03:00 56 51 15 143 (SE) ptly cldy none 04:00 56 51 11 171 (S) ptly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
