The seeing was AWFUL!! JUST AWFUL!! And then it got windy! We had gusts of 33mph where were, unfortunately, coming from the SW near NM09's target. We couldn't stay on field and, given the increase in humidity and clouds, closed at 05:40 AP01 was having difficulty with their software and were not able to fire the laser. They ceded all their time to UW10. No problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:27 ecamera 462( -436) 28 41 3.5 5.0 5.1 4.6 3.8 NA2 3.14 19:38 ecamera 431( -568) 236 61 3.5 3.2 3.7 3.2 3.3 Clear 1.60 01:12 ecamera 411( -663) -8 52 2.3 1.5 2.3 1.8 2.1 Clear 1.79 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 40 28 21 226 (SW) 236 ptly cldy none 17:00 39 27 20 226 (SW) 417 mstly clr none 18:00 38 25 17 224 (SW) 364 ptly cldy none 19:00 38 25 23 237 (WSW) 246 mstly clr none 20:00 39 26 18 260 (W) 533 mstly clr none 21:00 39 26 16 260 (W) 96 clear none 22:00 38 26 19 263 (W) 99 clear none 23:00 35 27 22 253 (WSW) 93 clear none 00:00 36 28 18 255 (WSW) 95 clear none 01:00 36 27 27 236 (SW) 100 clear none 02:00 36 27 21 255 (WSW) 103 clear none 03:00 35 28 18 240 (WSW) 103 mstly clr none 04:00 34 29 18 245 (WSW) 93 mstly clr humid 05:00 34 29 22 260 (W) 120 ptly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
