Evening started clear and rain-free enough that we could open at sunset. Skies were partly cloudy, winds were calm and seeing was decent. Clouds began to thicken around 23:45. It blew out and began to clear again around 00:30. Seeing improved after 01:00. We ended up being open all 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:25 ecamera 501( 277) 51 65 17.6 19.8 19.7 19.4 18.3 ND4 0.91 21:21 ecamera 517( 234) -37 42 17.6 18.2 18.6 17.8 17.8 ND2 0.93 00:32 ecamera 455( 111) -31 31 16.2 16.6 17.2 16.5 16.6 ND1 1.33 01:16 ecamera 461( 66) 136 83 16.2 16.3 16.8 16.2 16.2 clear 0.77 03:52 ecamera 434( 20) 231 69 16.8 15.7 16.4 15.4 15.8 clear 0.77 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 69 36 11 226 (SW) 1701 ptly cldy none 17:00 69 34 14 216 (SW) 1420 ptly cldy none 18:00 72 36 14 229 (SW) 1089 ptly cldy none 19:00 69 32 8 259 (W) 1131 ptly cldy none 20:00 65 31 15 228 (SW) 1185 ptly cldy none 21:00 64 28 7 186 (S) 1134 ptly cldy none 22:00 63 30 7 183 (S) 1215 ptly cldy none 23:00 63 30 9 187 (S) 1395 mstly cldy none 00:00 62 28 8 188 (S) 2154 mstly clr none 01:00 61 30 5 179 (S) 2227 mstly clr none 02:00 62 29 1 207 (SSW) 2123 mstly clr none 03:00 63 30 5 270 (W) 2080 mstly clr none 04:00 62 29 3 252 (WSW) 2082 mstly clr none 05:00 61 28 3 245 (WSW) 1978 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
