Seeing was so-so then grew excellent. Clouds started to come in around 23:00, and seeing declined. No rain on the radar, so we stayed open and powered through it. We were open all 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:52 APOLLO 750( 1402) -76 48 -1.4 0.8 0.9 0.1 -1.2 530 1.50 21:23 NICFPS 715( 817) 51 43 -2.6 -2.2 -2.0 -2.8 -2.7 MK-H 0.77 00:59 arctic 762( 532) -33 52 0.6 -1.7 -1.9 -2.1 -0.3 SDSS_r 1.49 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 37 17 10 191 (S) 932 clear none 17:00 34 14 8 232 (SW) 836 clear none 18:00 30 11 4 190 (S) 974 clear none 19:00 29 9 9 187 (S) 747 clear none 20:00 28 12 10 183 (S) 1062 clear none 21:00 28 14 10 186 (S) 1212 clear none 22:00 28 16 13 191 (S) 1224 clear none 23:00 28 15 12 184 (S) 1113 mstly clr none 00:00 29 14 7 182 (S) 1057 ptly cldy none 01:00 34 2 9 263 (W) 693 ptly cldy none 02:00 30 1 3 184 (S) 702 mstly cldy none 03:00 30 6 11 198 (SSW) 841 ptly cldy none 04:00 31 18 17 196 (SSW) 995 mstly cldy none 05:00 32 16 16 203 (SSW) 880 mstly cldy none 06:00 28 19 19 159 (SSE) 1648 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
