We were stuck with clouds from the beginning of the night and, while we were able to punch through them, they just kept getting thicker and more annoying. But, no time was lost and the seeing was actually pretty good! 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:39 dcamera 512( 676) 194 69 4.9 8.5 8.0 8.2 6.2 -- 1.71 20:44 dcamera 490( 517) 61 65 5.1 5.5 5.9 5.2 5.1 -- 1.35 00:22 tcamera 425( 798) 140 56 4.5 4.6 5.4 4.7 4.9 MKs 1.15 01:45 ecamera 465( -480) 309 79 5.9 4.5 5.1 4.4 5.1 Clear 0.79 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 53 19 8 231 (SW) 762 mstly cldy none 17:00 47 17 9 218 (SW) 860 mstly cldy none 18:00 41 15 5 184 (S) 912 mstly cldy none 19:00 43 11 2 150 (SSE) 888 mstly cldy none 20:00 40 11 9 111 (ESE) 960 mstly cldy none 21:00 41 11 10 185 (S) 978 mstly cldy none 22:00 40 16 3 156 (SSE) 1092 mstly cldy none 23:00 39 16 10 128 (SE) 1309 mstly cldy none 00:00 44 8 5 191 (S) 1064 mstly cldy none 01:00 42 0 9 180 (S) 1155 mstly cldy none 02:00 42 2 12 202 (SSW) 1377 mstly cldy none 03:00 43 3 9 222 (SW) 1375 mstly cldy none 04:00 43 2 3 220 (SW) 1217 mstly cldy none 05:00 46 7 6 241 (WSW) 1236 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
