Humidity went up as well as dust. There was also a funky odor outside from it. We finished observing with no time loss but seeing blew up the last 45 mins of 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:25 ecamera 287( 283) 247 17 20.2 21.7 21.8 21.1 20.6 ND5 1.60 20:32 tcamera 520( 1460) 9 56 19.8 20.3 20.7 19.7 19.4 Ks 0.96 00:21 ecamera 268( 40) 157 65 19.0 18.1 18.7 17.8 18.6 ND3 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 72 28 13 276 (W) 903 clear none 17:00 78 32 12 258 (WSW) 848 clear none 18:00 73 30 18 293 (WNW) 990 clear none 19:00 74 30 14 273 (W) 876 clear none 20:00 70 27 11 302 (WNW) 992 clear none 21:00 68 25 7 325 (NW) 1054 clear none 22:00 68 25 3 248 (WSW) 1386 clear none 23:00 66 28 8 189 (S) 2396 clear none 00:00 67 28 3 259 (W) 2380 clear none 01:00 65 28 4 345 (NNW) 2397 clear none 02:00 65 27 1 5 (N) 2125 clear none 03:00 67 28 5 22 (NNE) 2307 clear none 04:00 67 25 9 23 (NNE) 2102 clear none 05:00 59 32 21 67 (ENE) 2184 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
