Seeing ranged from moderate to bad, but at least it wasn't horrible. Observations were at least somewhat successful for all programs. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:48 dcamera 443( 387) 73 79 1.0 3.8 4.4 3.4 1.4 - 2.48 21:55 dcamera 483( 228) 28 57 -0.9 -0.6 0.1 -0.9 -0.9 - 1.67 05:15 APOLLO 525( 997) 89 29 -2.4 -3.2 -2.7 -3.1 -2.9 530 2.30 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 39 11 18 268 (W) 1983 mstly clr none 17:00 36 8 17 271 (W) 1984 clear none 18:00 33 6 13 305 (NW) 2104 clear none 19:00 31 3 27 298 (WNW) 1268 clear none 20:00 31 3 26 288 (WNW) 922 clear none 21:00 30 1 23 288 (WNW) 884 mstly clr none 22:00 30 -1 12 273 (W) 762 ptly cldy none 23:00 28 -7 18 301 (WNW) 389 ptly cldy none 00:00 28 -15 11 270 (W) 432 ptly cldy none 01:00 27 -19 17 298 (WNW) 574 ptly cldy none 02:00 27 -21 17 295 (WNW) 507 clear none 03:00 27 -22 16 307 (NW) 259 clear none 04:00 27 -20 13 312 (NW) 164 clear none 05:00 27 -13 8 267 (W) 93 clear none 06:00 28 -6 11 290 (WNW) 96 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
