It was overcast with intermittent rain until 01:00. The rain passed, and by 02:00 it was marginally good enough to open, so we did. Seeing was bad, but observations got done. By 04:00 humidity had risen too high and we closed again, and remained closed. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02:07 dcamera 552( 928) 62 45 12.9 13.0 13.4 13.3 12.9 - 2.30 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 59 53 19 101 (E) 1471 cloudy rain 17:00 56 45 10 113 (ESE) 567 cloudy lt rain 18:00 55 53 27 147 (SSE) cloudy rain 19:00 50 46 30 71 (ENE) cloudy humid 20:00 55 41 16 80 (E) 170 cloudy none 21:00 56 39 24 132 (SE) 176 cloudy none 22:00 56 41 24 159 (SSE) 210 cloudy lt rain 23:00 55 46 28 150 (SSE) 625 ptly cldy none 00:00 54 50 28 145 (SE) cloudy lt rain 01:00 55 48 19 160 (SSE) 1470 cloudy none 02:00 55 48 21 175 (S) 1654 ptly cldy none 03:00 55 49 21 187 (S) 1473 ptly cldy none 04:00 53 50 19 185 (S) ptly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
