Second half we had a rapid clearing! And then just as rapidly it clouded over again. But there was about 1.5 hours of good data and 20 minutes of futile struggle, so it was better than nothing. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02:23 ecamera 184( -757) 208 45 2.7 4.2 5.2 4.1 2.7 ND3 1.45 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 20 29 234 (SW) 715 cloudy none 17:00 49 20 27 219 (SW) 770 cloudy none 18:00 47 14 17 263 (W) 1018 cloudy none 19:00 47 17 20 216 (SW) 662 cloudy none 20:00 46 18 24 221 (SW) 964 cloudy none 21:00 45 17 16 257 (WSW) 1080 cloudy none 22:00 43 20 25 247 (WSW) 14002 cloudy dust 23:00 42 23 22 235 (SW) 14647 cloudy dust 00:00 41 24 24 221 (SW) 10082 cloudy dust 01:00 39 23 20 249 (WSW) 2787 cloudy none 02:00 38 23 11 260 (W) 786 mstly cldy none 03:00 37 20 25 259 (W) 724 clear none 04:00 36 17 17 240 (WSW) 939 clear none 05:00 35 18 19 237 (WSW) 879 mstly cldy none 06:00 33 15 16 258 (WSW) 1138 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
