Not sure why this was happening. Nothing seemed amis on our end. A tad bit windy tonight. Gusts were hitting almost 55MPH! Temps dropped 2nd half and the humidity went over the limit. The sky cleared around 04:50 and the winds and humidity also dropped below the closure limits. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 05:27 tcamera -8( 48) 115 78 -6.7 -1.9 0.4 -3.0 -5.5 Ks 1.46 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 36 28 25 233 (SW) 361 cloudy none 17:00 37 27 25 218 (SW) 282 cloudy none 18:00 37 25 25 219 (SW) 258 cloudy none 19:00 38 27 26 244 (WSW) 481 cloudy none 20:00 37 26 23 233 (SW) 670 cloudy none 21:00 37 27 29 219 (SW) 2261 cloudy none 22:00 36 28 24 244 (WSW) 1701 cloudy none 23:00 35 30 38 243 (WSW) 1190 cloudy none 00:00 32 28 26 259 (W) cloudy none 01:00 29 14 41 264 (W) 954 cloudy none 02:00 26 21 22 270 (W) 2428 cloudy none 03:00 23 23 25 275 (W) cloudy humid 04:00 22 16 21 293 (WNW) mstly cldy humid 05:00 20 15 13 309 (NW) clear none 06:00 20 12 20 303 (WNW) 148 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
