Intermittent clouds showed up occasionally during B-half, but otherwise the sky was clear. The clouds were a little worse after about 4:30, but were moving very quickly. We closed up around 07:00. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- FAILURE MODE TIME PROG INSTR TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:50 dcamera 505( 879) 26 58 9.6 12.8 12.8 12.5 10.5 -- 1.43 01:30 AGILE 546(-1271) 109 37 8.9 8.8 9.4 8.8 8.9 BG40 0.69 Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 56 28 15 262 (W) 922 clear none 17:00 56 28 11 234 (SW) 1110 clear none 18:00 54 29 7 252 (WSW) 1247 clear none 19:00 50 29 9 219 (SW) 1803 clear none 20:00 50 32 12 215 (SW) 2363 clear none 21:00 49 32 13 208 (SSW) 2844 clear none 22:00 50 32 13 218 (SW) 2396 clear none 23:00 51 32 14 241 (WSW) 1839 clear none 00:00 50 32 14 238 (WSW) 1901 clear none 01:00 49 32 13 243 (WSW) 1933 clear none 02:00 48 32 12 262 (W) 1760 mstly clr none 03:00 49 32 20 244 (WSW) 1708 mstly clr none 04:00 48 32 16 239 (WSW) 1551 ptly cldy none 05:00 49 32 19 264 (W) 1569 mstly clr none 06:00 47 32 18 261 (W) 1487 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
