I noticed that the optical cloudcam hadn't updated properly since the 13th and wrote a PR about it. Otherwise, the sky was clear as crystal most of the night, with variable seeing. Some clouds started to pass overhead around 04:00. We closed up around 06:00. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:11 ecamera 634( -307) -40 39 3.2 4.1 3.9 3.9 3.4 ND2 1.06 21:48 ecamera 485( -529) 64 79 3.7 3.0 3.6 3.1 3.4 Clear 1.84 00:37 tcamera 445( 688) 123 58 4.4 2.0 2.8 2.3 3.2 Ks 1.36 04:31 ecamera 483( -504) 165 50 4.1 3.3 3.9 3.2 3.8 ND1 1.14 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 39 5 13 331 (NNW) 74 clear none 17:00 39 2 16 353 (N) 43 clear none 18:00 38 5 18 343 (NNW) 44 clear none 19:00 39 7 18 345 (NNW) 57 clear none 20:00 39 7 13 347 (NNW) 83 clear none 21:00 40 7 14 12 (NNE) 69 clear none 22:00 38 5 12 330 (NNW) 47 clear none 23:00 36 8 7 5 (N) 89 clear none 00:00 36 9 11 352 (N) 55 clear none 01:00 40 6 18 359 (N) 23 clear none 02:00 38 5 10 343 (NNW) 25 clear none 03:00 39 4 18 298 (WNW) 24 clear none 04:00 40 6 18 296 (WNW) 58 mstly clr none 05:00 39 6 15 298 (WNW) 73 mstly clr none 06:00 39 6 13 278 (W) 95 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
