Seeing was not great. Around 21:00 a front passed through, with clouds and rain popped up on the radar, so we closed. We opened again after the threat of rain passed around 23:00. Seeing had improved somewhat, and it stayed clear. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:14 dcamera 455( 981) 88 54 10.9 14.1 13.9 13.6 11.3 - 1.41 23:14 dcamera 439( 793) 330 81 10.6 11.0 11.2 10.9 11.0 - 1.17 01:09 dcamera 502( 813) 319 74 10.2 10.2 10.7 10.2 10.1 - 0.96 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 57 14 10 283 (WNW) 465 clear none 17:00 59 15 14 268 (W) 392 clear none 18:00 58 12 12 270 (W) 390 clear none 19:00 55 11 12 263 (W) 368 clear none 20:00 51 11 9 297 (WNW) 498 clear none 21:00 50 9 0 292 (WNW) 417 ptly cldy none 22:00 53 11 5 290 (WNW) 432 ptly cldy none 23:00 52 10 5 244 (WSW) 444 clear none 00:00 51 11 12 222 (SW) 472 clear none 01:00 50 9 11 233 (SW) 481 clear none 02:00 50 8 7 263 (W) 424 clear none 03:00 51 8 9 235 (SW) 468 clear none 04:00 50 9 7 185 (S) 418 clear none 05:00 48 12 5 184 (S) 435 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
