Everything worked great except the weather. Things started out clear but with poor seeing due to eastern winds. Then, clouds rolled in and there was a threat of precip so we closed for a bit. We were able to reopen but fought the clouds and wind on and off. The humidity creeped up but never to the point where we had to close. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:37 AGILE 677(-1615) 75 59 -3.0 -1.0 -0.9 -1.8 -2.7 BG40 2.28 20:31 AGILE 612(-1853) -42 74 -4.3 -4.4 -3.7 -4.6 -4.5 BG40 2.33 02:29 AGILE 547(-1917) 278 68 -4.1 -4.5 -4.1 -4.2 -4.1 BG40 2.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 30 -8 10 75 (ENE) 302 clear none 17:00 28 -7 8 83 (E) 308 clear none 18:00 26 -7 16 80 (E) 287 clear none 19:00 25 -10 8 14 (NNE) 251 clear none 20:00 25 -6 15 62 (ENE) 252 clear none 21:00 24 -5 21 74 (ENE) 308 clear none 22:00 24 -1 12 95 (E) 324 clear none 23:00 24 0 20 88 (E) 309 ptly cldy none 00:00 24 4 16 85 (E) 313 mstly cldy none 01:00 25 6 18 75 (ENE) 284 cloudy none 02:00 25 12 27 72 (ENE) 235 ptly cldy none 03:00 25 14 29 72 (ENE) 215 mstly clr none 04:00 24 14 23 75 (ENE) 219 mstly clr none 05:00 24 16 26 70 (ENE) 228 mstly clr none 06:00 23 15 31 70 (ENE) 274 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
