I can confirm that the weather page reads the dome door as open when it is open. Which, frankly, I'm surprised we opened tonight. We had rain and complete cloud cover for A half. However, at 2:21am, things cleared up enough and the humidity was safe enough to open. We were able to stay open until 5am when the humidity spiked. We did not reopen. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02:29 dcamera 466( 1165) -31 59 13.4 14.2 14.4 14.2 13.8 -- 0.89 04:13 dcamera 486( 1136) -22 57 13.2 13.1 13.7 13.2 13.1 -- 0.93 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 60 51 10 297 (WNW) 479 cloudy none 17:00 59 48 5 276 (W) 397 cloudy none 18:00 59 48 3 317 (NW) 456 cloudy none 19:00 59 49 2 312 (NW) 456 cloudy none 20:00 58 50 4 353 (N) 699 cloudy lt rain 21:00 58 50 7 40 (NE) 685 cloudy lt rain 22:00 59 48 10 48 (NE) 520 cloudy none 23:00 58 48 4 46 (NE) 489 cloudy none 00:00 59 48 1 232 (SW) 483 cloudy none 01:00 58 49 5 190 (S) 516 mstly cldy none 02:00 57 49 5 191 (S) 458 mstly clr none 03:00 57 49 7 218 (SW) 494 mstly clr none 04:00 56 50 8 187 (S) 454 ptly cldy humid 05:00 55 50 7 187 (S) ptly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
