I am not sure why as the winds were fairly calm outside and it rained earlier in the day. It didn't appear to be a dust event just something elevating the counts for some reason tonight. I closed at 01:10 and the dust levels remained elevated for the remainder of the night, we never re-opened. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:13 dcamera 590( 1381) 12 57 14.7 16.1 15.4 15.9 15.4 -- 0.89 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 58 50 1 280 (W) mstly cldy lt rain 17:00 60 49 1 280 (W) 4333 ptly cldy none 18:00 63 51 5 265 (W) 3524 ptly cldy none 19:00 61 50 5 282 (WNW) 3453 ptly cldy none 20:00 60 48 5 271 (W) 3340 ptly cldy none 21:00 61 42 2 282 (WNW) 1947 clear none 22:00 61 44 5 273 (W) 1744 clear none 23:00 61 44 2 240 (WSW) 2229 clear none 00:00 59 47 7 191 (S) 4500 clear dust 01:00 59 48 2 209 (SSW) 6235 clear dust 02:00 58 48 4 204 (SSW) 6857 clear dust 03:00 57 48 6 260 (W) 6808 clear dust 04:00 58 49 6 281 (W) 6989 clear dust 05:00 57 48 7 324 (NW) 4775 clear dust Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
