The skied did improve during the course of the night, although we saw clouds hanging just to our S. Unfortunately the humidity stayed in the 70-80% range for the entire night (going over closure limits a few times), which was a little too close under the current circumstances. Luckily we didn't have any generator issues and hopefully they will have the mains restored by tomorrow. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 27 27 1 264 (W) cloudy fog 17:00 30 30 1 198 (SSW) cloudy fog 18:00 30 29 1 168 (SSE) mstly cldy humid 19:00 29 28 7 74 (ENE) mstly cldy humid 20:00 28 27 1 238 (WSW) cloudy humid 21:00 27 24 2 127 (SE) mstly cldy none 22:00 26 21 7 88 (E) ptly cldy none 23:00 26 20 7 110 (ESE) 658 mstly clr none 00:00 27 21 9 88 (E) 668 mstly clr none 01:00 28 20 9 88 (E) mstly clr none 02:00 26 21 1 215 (SW) mstly clr humid 03:00 25 22 5 90 (E) mstly clr humid 04:00 27 21 3 22 (NNE) mstly clr humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
