Arctic was having troubles with its power supply, so we moved it onto the old DIS blue PS. Seemed to work. Evening started with high thickening clouds, but good seeing. Clouds kept getting thicker by midnight could only see the moon. By 02:00 even the moon was getting hard to see. Rain started popping up on radar, so we closed. Observer called it quits around 03:00. We did not open again. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:24 ecamera 561( -128) 54 76 8.0 10.0 9.2 9.9 8.6 ND4 0.66 18:11 ecamera 497( -234) 238 59 8.3 8.9 8.9 8.8 8.4 ND4 0.80 19:36 ecamera 426( -339) 199 62 8.3 8.2 8.6 8.1 8.2 ND4 0.81 21:33 arctic 472( 779) 3 58 7.8 7.6 8.1 7.6 7.6 SDSS_r 1.21 00:11 ecamera 425( -392) 71 59 7.1 7.0 7.5 7.1 7.1 ND3 0.91 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 49 41 10 262 (W) 251 ptly cldy none 17:00 47 41 14 271 (W) 284 ptly cldy none 18:00 47 40 14 268 (W) 260 mstly clr none 19:00 47 40 19 265 (W) 233 mstly clr none 20:00 47 39 14 260 (W) 242 ptly cldy none 21:00 46 38 11 270 (W) 210 ptly cldy none 22:00 46 37 12 249 (WSW) 222 ptly cldy none 23:00 45 37 12 268 (W) 177 mstly cldy none 00:00 45 37 12 272 (W) 209 mstly cldy none 01:00 45 37 16 285 (WNW) 228 mstly cldy none 02:00 44 36 14 276 (W) 214 mstly cldy none 03:00 44 37 9 321 (NW) 236 mstly cldy none 04:00 44 36 7 349 (N) 245 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
