Clear and clear and more clear. Seeing started good, and got better and better. Some of the best seeing I've witnessed. High thin clouds began to plague us around 01:30. Clouds came and went, thick at times. It started to clear again around 05:45. We were open all night. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- FAILURE MODE TIME PROG INSTR TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:51 ecamera 366( -319) 91 69 5.9 10.0 9.4 9.8 7.7 ND4 1.02 19:32 ecamera 209( -507) -12 31 6.6 8.7 8.0 8.8 6.7 ND1 1.01 20:38 ecamera 290( -513) 25 43 5.7 7.1 7.1 6.3 6.2 ND1 0.85 22:49 ecamera 422( -460) -16 47 5.6 5.5 6.1 5.4 5.6 ND2 0.76 01:03 arctic 478( 684) -49 53 5.7 5.3 6.0 5.3 5.6 SDSS_r 0.66 03:55 arctic 481( 686) -31 51 5.6 5.3 5.7 5.4 5.5 SDSS_r 0.71 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 47 29 5 246 (WSW) clear none 17:00 43 27 1 229 (SW) clear none 18:00 44 18 1 216 (SW) clear none 19:00 42 12 5 348 (NNW) clear none 20:00 43 10 2 233 (SW) clear none 21:00 42 21 6 253 (WSW) clear none 22:00 42 25 6 200 (SSW) clear none 23:00 42 28 8 213 (SSW) clear none 00:00 42 26 7 212 (SSW) clear none 01:00 42 28 10 207 (SSW) mstly clr none 02:00 43 32 10 185 (S) mstly clr none 03:00 43 32 8 197 (SSW) ptly cldy none 04:00 42 32 13 185 (S) ptly cldy none 05:00 41 32 11 208 (SSW) ptly cldy none 06:00 41 30 11 182 (S) mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
