Some rain started around sunset, and persisted up until around 23:00. Engineering consisted of trying to get Agile working, testing the new Gmech code, and dealing with TUI crashes related to the tlamps processes. High humidity began around 03:00 and we called it a night by 04:00. No on-sky observations were made. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 62 56 1 228 (SW) 471 cloudy rain 17:00 54 46 15 112 (ESE) cloudy rain 18:00 58 41 12 110 (ESE) 189 cloudy none 19:00 57 47 8 108 (ESE) 309 cloudy none 20:00 56 45 7 92 (E) 376 cloudy none 21:00 58 41 11 84 (E) 336 cloudy lt rain 22:00 59 38 8 88 (E) 287 cloudy lt rain 23:00 57 39 13 49 (NE) 321 cloudy none 00:00 57 39 2 139 (SE) 334 cloudy none 01:00 57 42 11 93 (E) 476 cloudy none 02:00 56 45 17 128 (SE) 408 cloudy none 03:00 54 50 13 145 (SE) 563 cloudy humid 04:00 54 51 19 140 (SE) cloudy rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
