Since the primary dewpoint sensor was iced over, this isn't obvious from the logs or graphs, but the secondary dewpoint sensor was pretty close to telling the truth. And in any case, when there's actual fog it's easy for human senses to put an accurate number on the humidity. I had two altitude motion errors during checkout, one upward-moving at alt 68 and one downward-moving at alt 43. I expected to find moth guts, but the drive surface was clean. Hopefully this is not the start of a pattern. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 51 31 16 238 (WSW) mstly cldy humid 17:00 51 30 12 204 (SSW) mstly cldy humid 18:00 50 30 8 185 (S) mstly cldy humid 19:00 51 30 6 189 (S) mstly cldy humid 20:00 51 28 12 187 (S) mstly cldy humid 21:00 51 28 11 211 (SSW) cloudy fog 22:00 51 30 13 205 (SSW) cloudy fog 23:00 52 30 12 189 (S) cloudy fog 00:00 52 30 12 210 (SSW) cloudy fog 01:00 51 29 7 262 (W) cloudy fog 02:00 51 29 8 263 (W) cloudy fog 03:00 52 29 11 246 (WSW) cloudy fog 04:00 51 30 11 273 (W) cloudy fog Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
