I restarted it. A PR was submitted. I opened before sunset to get things cooling, but during twilight the sky grew increasingly worse and we had a system both to our N and coming up from the SW, so I opted to close. We had thunderstorms during the first half of the night and clouds and humidity during the second half. We never re-opened and called it at 04:00 DIS Red HV was found off again at the end of the night. I re-started it again. ------- 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 65 47 11 262 (W) 296 mstly clr none 17:00 68 50 12 201 (SSW) 302 mstly clr none 18:00 65 49 9 227 (SW) 271 mstly clr none 19:00 62 49 11 213 (SSW) 245 mstly clr none 20:00 60 48 9 205 (SSW) 236 cloudy rain 21:00 57 51 22 140 (SE) 281 cloudy rain 22:00 50 46 25 56 (NE) cloudy rain 23:00 50 49 9 97 (E) cloudy lt rain 00:00 52 46 12 176 (S) cloudy lt rain 01:00 55 51 7 227 (SW) cloudy humid 02:00 53 51 8 239 (WSW) cloudy humid 03:00 54 51 7 265 (W) cloudy humid 04:00 53 52 8 240 (WSW) cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
