It wasn't. Not even close!! We had had clouds all night long. They were thin enough to punch through, but annoying. Seeing was meh. In other news, I have Mars nightside electron profiles! But Withers published all the good ones :( *sigh* No problems tonight. Except for one moth. The first miller moth arrived in the dome tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:07 tcamera 577( 1309) 253 41 14.1 16.0 15.9 15.9 14.4 -- 1.00 00:00 ecamera 397( -154) 123 50 11.4 11.6 12.2 11.6 11.5 Clear 1.46 02:57 ecamera 325( -250) 3 45 12.7 11.1 11.6 11.1 12.4 Clear 1.13 04:59 tcamera 566( 1114) 104 10 12.0 11.8 12.3 11.9 11.9 -- 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 22 12 257 (WSW) 953 cloudy none 17:00 67 21 15 242 (WSW) 1029 cloudy none 18:00 63 20 12 265 (W) 1095 cloudy none 19:00 60 17 4 258 (WSW) 916 cloudy none 20:00 57 15 7 264 (W) 1126 cloudy none 21:00 57 15 3 254 (WSW) 1175 cloudy none 22:00 56 14 15 137 (SE) 978 cloudy none 23:00 55 13 20 150 (SSE) 1068 cloudy none 00:00 53 14 19 148 (SSE) 1240 cloudy none 01:00 53 12 17 152 (SSE) 1491 cloudy none 02:00 52 12 14 152 (SSE) 1501 cloudy none 03:00 52 12 14 155 (SSE) 1439 cloudy none 04:00 56 15 10 192 (SSW) 1128 mstly cldy none 05:00 54 15 11 205 (SSW) 1210 mstly cldy none 06:00 54 15 13 186 (S) 1317 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
