Right at the start of morning twilight, conditions improved and we were able to open to get a small amount of usable data on a bright target. So it wasn't a complete loss. I did not record focus values since I was just adjusting focus by eye. ------- 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 68 46 18 217 (SW) 943 ptly cldy none 17:00 64 44 15 254 (WSW) 790 ptly cldy none 18:00 63 45 12 284 (WNW) 811 mstly cldy none 19:00 64 40 9 299 (WNW) 669 mstly cldy none 20:00 65 37 9 316 (NW) 510 cloudy lt rain 21:00 63 32 18 286 (WNW) 2494 cloudy none 22:00 64 32 5 260 (W) 411 mstly cldy none 23:00 59 42 12 223 (SW) 635 mstly cldy none 00:00 56 40 13 181 (S) 2446 mstly cldy lt rain 01:00 57 40 12 190 (S) 1593 mstly cldy none 02:00 53 43 25 160 (SSE) 1529 cloudy lt rain 03:00 54 41 23 179 (S) 1828 cloudy none 04:00 53 43 20 149 (SSE) 1650 cloudy none 05:00 54 42 13 199 (SSW) 1154 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
