Dataq needed a restart from the backend (server) side. Rain started again at 20:00, did not end until around 21:30. Radar retuns persisted all around us. Light rain started again around 00:30. Rain had ended by 01:30. There was a break in the clouds around 03:40 that allowed us a sliver of time for CG01. It soon clouded over and rain appeared on the radar again, so we closed at 04:41. We did not open again. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 73 43 10 244 (WSW) cloudy none 17:00 69 37 8 245 (WSW) cloudy none 18:00 62 34 12 358 (N) cloudy none 19:00 61 31 13 26 (NNE) cloudy none 20:00 62 33 7 185 (S) cloudy rain 21:00 63 33 8 180 (S) cloudy lt rain 22:00 61 33 11 168 (SSE) cloudy none 23:00 60 31 16 152 (SSE) cloudy none 00:00 64 32 12 133 (SE) cloudy lt rain 01:00 65 33 7 111 (ESE) cloudy none 02:00 64 32 11 141 (SE) cloudy none 03:00 62 30 7 193 (SSW) ptly cldy none 04:00 62 32 7 219 (SW) mstly cldy none 05:00 61 32 7 262 (W) mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
