But then we struggled with gusty winds, and returning clouds, and returning snow threat. After I closed, there were more high winds, clouds, and high humidity. Finally the precip sensor went off close to morning twilight, so it seemed time to call the night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:49 dcamera 594( 362) 275 70 -0.7 0.0 0.4 0.0 -0.4 - 1.82 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 32 9 11 237 (WSW) 306 mstly cldy none 17:00 32 7 13 245 (WSW) 396 ptly cldy none 18:00 31 6 19 244 (WSW) 472 ptly cldy none 19:00 31 8 19 252 (WSW) 348 ptly cldy none 20:00 30 9 21 252 (WSW) 541 mstly cldy none 21:00 27 13 20 238 (WSW) 872 cloudy none 22:00 26 11 24 248 (WSW) 1606 cloudy none 23:00 26 12 37 254 (WSW) 786 cloudy none 00:00 22 12 22 269 (W) 614 cloudy none 01:00 20 13 23 287 (WNW) 671 mstly cldy none 02:00 18 15 15 339 (NNW) cloudy humid 03:00 17 12 3 337 (NNW) cloudy humid 04:00 16 12 2 207 (SSW) cloudy humid 05:00 15 13 16 348 (NNW) cloudy humid 06:00 15 14 7 359 (N) cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
