Both JH04 and UW05 reported not recieving their setup email from 35m-observing. I did not recieve an email response from WY02, Surprisingly, the clouds dissipated enough that we could open around 21:45. JH04 had acquired all the data they could under the partly-cloudy conditions and handed over the rest of their time (about 0.5 hr) to UW05 at 00:41. That time is marked as OBS for JH04 and UW05's time is marked as starting at their scheduled time. UW05's targets were too faint to observe with the cloud cover, so they called it a night at 04:30. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:42 dcamera 476( 1117) 103 60 13.8 13.0 13.9 13.0 13.2 -- 1.26 00:54 dcamera 478( 1110) -78 76 13.3 12.9 13.5 12.9 13.0 -- 1.12 04:13 dcamera 493( 1090) -105 35 12.2 11.6 12.2 11.6 11.8 -- 1.35 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 55 48 20 76 (ENE) cloudy none 17:00 56 50 14 69 (ENE) cloudy none 18:00 56 51 13 79 (E) cloudy humid 19:00 56 49 10 88 (E) cloudy none 20:00 57 46 8 110 (ESE) 718 mstly cldy none 21:00 56 45 10 127 (SE) 661 ptly cldy none 22:00 56 44 9 119 (ESE) 577 ptly cldy none 23:00 57 44 15 137 (SE) 738 mstly cldy none 00:00 57 44 16 147 (SSE) 772 ptly cldy none 01:00 55 47 11 129 (SE) 2798 ptly cldy none 02:00 55 46 10 140 (SE) 3216 ptly cldy none 03:00 55 40 8 184 (S) 3095 ptly cldy none 04:00 54 47 8 192 (SSW) 5323 ptly cldy dust Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
