I didn't think we'd be able to open tonight but things cleared enough to open a little before 3am. Seeing was good but we fought through clouds for the rest of the night. No problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02:48 ecamera 261( -220) 232 67 13.2 14.3 14.6 14.3 13.3 ND1 0.87 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 66 34 6 267 (W) 649 cloudy none 17:00 65 34 3 255 (WSW) 656 cloudy none 18:00 68 35 9 259 (W) 707 mstly clr none 19:00 64 34 17 241 (WSW) 727 ptly cldy none 20:00 63 33 15 239 (WSW) 670 cloudy lt rain 21:00 61 34 15 227 (SW) 812 cloudy none 22:00 60 34 10 262 (W) 1242 cloudy none 23:00 58 32 4 192 (SSW) 916 cloudy none 00:00 59 33 3 262 (W) 864 cloudy none 01:00 58 33 1 222 (SW) 775 ptly cldy none 02:00 56 31 3 223 (SW) 760 ptly cldy none 03:00 56 31 4 266 (W) 572 ptly cldy none 04:00 55 31 2 268 (W) 559 mstly cldy none 05:00 55 31 1 324 (NW) 814 mstly cldy none 06:00 54 28 8 334 (NNW) 566 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
