That's pretty much what it did all night long. We gave up around 04:00 as it was still raining and the system was unlikely to move out in the next 2 hrs (plus with all the rain we got humidity would likely be an issue as well). ------- 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 45 44 14 94 (E) cloudy rain 17:00 44 43 7 110 (ESE) cloudy rain 18:00 44 44 11 200 (SSW) cloudy rain 19:00 44 44 7 204 (SSW) cloudy rain 20:00 42 42 5 23 (NNE) cloudy rain 21:00 43 43 7 116 (ESE) cloudy rain 22:00 44 44 14 150 (SSE) cloudy rain 23:00 43 43 16 125 (SE) cloudy rain 00:00 44 44 11 149 (SSE) cloudy rain 01:00 43 43 2 87 (E) cloudy rain 02:00 43 43 2 187 (S) cloudy rain 03:00 41 42 7 263 (W) cloudy rain 04:00 41 40 14 217 (SW) cloudy rain 05:00 41 39 10 269 (W) mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
