It took multiple attempts to even get an estimate on seeing. It finally improved by midnight when the humidity dropped. Clouds started rolling in around 10pm and stuck around but had mostly cleared by 5am. Hope you all got to see some meteors! ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:30 dcamera 497( 102) -37 72 -7.2 -3.4 -3.8 -3.4 -5.9 -- 1.47 18:22 dcamera 315( -159) 72 64 -7.5 -5.2 -5.6 -5.7 -7.2 -- 2.15 19:56 dcamera 360( -197) 47 78 -5.3 -6.8 -6.7 -7.3 -6.6 -- 2.26 21:10 dcamera 570( 72) 25 46 -3.6 -5.9 -5.3 -5.8 -3.4 -- 2.07 22:37 dcamera 716( 340) 80 45 -2.1 -3.4 -2.7 -3.0 -2.5 -- 2.74 00:31 dcamera 480( 156) -158 68 -1.7 -1.9 -1.8 -2.2 -1.9 -- 1.09 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
