Evening started out overcast. UW05's program had dim targets, so it was not worth opening initially. We got a suckerhole and opened at 21:00. Though it was not completely clear, we could do some observing through the haze, and it persisted for the night, and we stayed 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:02 dcamera 411( 811) 68 59 9.8 11.7 11.8 11.8 10.2 - 1.41 00:34 dcamera 519( 800) 36 51 9.2 9.3 9.8 9.3 9.3 - 1.32 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 58 14 21 241 (WSW) 715 mstly cldy none 17:00 56 12 22 214 (SW) 751 cloudy none 18:00 53 11 19 253 (WSW) 772 cloudy none 19:00 52 9 15 211 (SSW) 643 cloudy none 20:00 51 8 16 239 (WSW) 686 cloudy none 21:00 50 6 9 220 (SW) 692 ptly cldy none 22:00 50 8 13 226 (SW) 631 ptly cldy none 23:00 50 8 10 239 (WSW) 718 ptly cldy none 00:00 49 10 16 238 (WSW) 732 ptly cldy none 01:00 49 9 8 252 (WSW) 873 ptly cldy none 02:00 49 11 13 288 (WNW) 798 ptly cldy none 03:00 48 11 10 268 (W) 851 ptly cldy none 04:00 48 12 7 282 (WNW) 840 ptly cldy none 05:00 48 12 8 354 (N) 766 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
