We had heavy thunderstorms throughout the afternoon and early evening but were able to open at23:24 when things cleared up a bit. I got distracted helping our new trainee begin their obs that I forgot to record the focus :/ It was 1.25"in the JC-R filter at 23:35. We had to quickly close at 01:31am when rain from the east started approaching. We were never able to reopen as the rain was not going to clear before dawn. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:12 ecamera 426( -224) 122 62 12.0 10.6 11.7 10.7 11.5 NA1 0.76 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 49 31 14 28 (NNE) cloudy rain 17:00 52 31 2 352 (N) cloudy rain 18:00 50 31 7 346 (NNW) cloudy rain 19:00 53 31 16 20 (NNE) mstly cldy lt rain 20:00 53 31 18 34 (NE) cloudy none 21:00 53 31 14 59 (ENE) cloudy none 22:00 51 31 12 80 (E) ptly cldy none 23:00 51 31 7 93 (E) mstly clr none 00:00 51 31 11 81 (E) ptly cldy none 01:00 53 31 0 234 (SW) ptly cldy none 02:00 52 31 2 221 (SW) ptly cldy none 03:00 54 31 2 253 (WSW) mstly cldy rain 04:00 53 31 1 152 (SSE) mstly cldy rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
