I thought the humidity would kill us for sure but things improved a little before midnight and the clouds were never thick. We even had moderately good seeing! 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23:12 dcamera 435( -113) 138 51 -8.3 -7.0 -4.6 -7.2 -7.9 -- 1.50 01:05 dcamera 503( -124) 10 60 -8.4 -8.5 -7.5 -8.6 -8.5 -- 1.18 05:30 tcamera 432( 195) 157 66 -7.4 -8.2 -7.7 -8.2 -7.5 MK-s 1.34 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 17 16 3 246 (WSW) cloudy lt snow 17:00 17 15 2 227 (SW) cloudy lt snow 18:00 16 15 6 265 (W) cloudy none 19:00 16 15 3 304 (NW) cloudy none 20:00 16 15 0 254 (WSW) cloudy none 21:00 15 14 6 12 (NNE) mstly cldy none 22:00 14 12 8 358 (N) ptly cldy none 23:00 17 8 8 356 (N) ptly cldy none 00:00 17 8 17 17 (NNE) 149 mstly clr none 01:00 17 6 16 16 (NNE) 294 mstly clr none 02:00 17 7 22 20 (NNE) clear none 03:00 18 7 19 17 (NNE) 322 mstly clr none 04:00 19 6 12 18 (NNE) 337 mstly clr none 05:00 18 6 13 47 (NE) 374 mstly clr none 06:00 18 6 19 62 (ENE) 402 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
