I did manage to get some throughput measurements before and after the cloudy period, and then the sky cleared nicely if not perfectly for the second half observations. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:22 arctic 552( 1520) -57 33 16.8 17.6 17.9 17.2 17.1 g 1.16 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 70 29 19 255 (WSW) 512 clear none 17:00 71 30 27 265 (W) 667 clear none 18:00 71 28 12 259 (W) 410 clear none 19:00 67 25 15 265 (W) 478 clear none 20:00 64 25 13 247 (WSW) 571 clear none 21:00 62 26 17 241 (WSW) 569 clear none 22:00 62 26 9 253 (WSW) 573 ptly cldy none 23:00 62 24 18 244 (WSW) 549 mstly cldy none 00:00 60 21 12 269 (W) 422 ptly cldy none 01:00 60 20 14 280 (W) 441 clear none 02:00 60 21 13 297 (WNW) 506 mstly clr none 03:00 60 20 14 303 (WNW) 463 ptly cldy none 04:00 58 26 15 11 (N) 506 mstly clr none 05:00 58 24 12 13 (NNE) 471 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
