At the beginning they were thick and there were also high winds and borderline dust. In the middle, the clouds thinned and the observers were able to get some data. Then the clouds thickened up again and we also got some nearby radar signals, so that was it for the 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:39 dcamera 418( 378) 120 46 4.3 4.9 5.3 5.1 4.4 - 2.62 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 44 6 32 248 (WSW) 2992 mstly cldy dust 17:00 42 7 33 251 (WSW) 3195 mstly cldy dust 18:00 42 7 34 265 (W) 2365 mstly cldy dust 19:00 41 6 35 270 (W) 3000 mstly cldy dust 20:00 42 5 22 270 (W) 1706 ptly cldy none 21:00 41 6 24 269 (W) 2062 ptly cldy none 22:00 39 6 25 270 (W) 1505 ptly cldy none 23:00 39 6 19 285 (WNW) 1584 ptly cldy none 00:00 38 5 18 267 (W) 1290 mstly cldy none 01:00 37 6 23 265 (W) 1320 mstly cldy none 02:00 37 8 18 259 (W) 1281 cloudy none 03:00 36 8 25 269 (W) 1250 cloudy none 04:00 34 10 22 270 (W) 1200 cloudy none 05:00 33 10 19 265 (W) 1360 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
