At least it is cloudy!!! I didn't recover since I was going to install CSS on my laptop tonight, and then ran into some install issues (or things I just don't understand well enough). If Bill wants to come in during the daytime to fix it that would be great, otherwise hopefully I will have things working on my laptop sometime today. The forecast isn't looking good for tonight but I we do have it scheduled for tonight. Send an email if it is being fixed otherwise I will come over early, pending weather (forecast now is up to 17" of snow!!!). We gave up around 05:20 since clouds were covering us and more on the way. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:25 arctic 595( 743) 87 56 2.9 4.1 6.5 3.9 3.3 sdss_g 1.33 22:28 NA2gdr 1315(38315) 86 57 2.9 4.1 6.5 3.9 3.4 clear 1.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 36 32 23 207 (SSW) cloudy none 17:00 37 32 20 197 (SSW) cloudy none 18:00 37 32 19 188 (S) mstly cldy none 19:00 37 32 14 198 (SSW) cloudy lt rain 20:00 37 32 21 214 (SW) cloudy lt rain 21:00 38 32 15 210 (SSW) cloudy none 22:00 38 32 16 207 (SSW) mstly cldy none 23:00 37 32 16 205 (SSW) ptly cldy none 00:00 38 30 12 219 (SW) 354 mstly cldy none 01:00 38 31 12 203 (SSW) 307 cloudy none 02:00 37 32 15 214 (SW) mstly cldy humid 03:00 36 32 16 212 (SSW) cloudy humid 04:00 36 32 14 205 (SSW) cloudy humid 05:00 36 31 19 210 (SSW) cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
