The clouds persisted through all of A-half, so we didn't open. By midnight the humidity rose above our limits; while it came back down, the clouds never left. With dismal prospects of the weather improving during the rest of the night, the B-half observer called it a night at 04:15. I stuck around for a while longer, but I gave up at 05:15. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 58 39 10 82 (E) 1140 mstly cldy none 17:00 58 43 9 96 (E) 1915 cloudy none 18:00 55 42 20 75 (ENE) 2074 cloudy none 19:00 54 44 26 74 (ENE) 2048 cloudy lt rain 20:00 53 43 20 66 (ENE) 1410 cloudy none 21:00 51 45 18 80 (E) 1623 cloudy none 22:00 51 46 18 83 (E) cloudy none 23:00 52 43 9 83 (E) 803 cloudy none 00:00 51 42 24 54 (NE) 714 cloudy none 01:00 49 44 26 73 (ENE) cloudy none 02:00 48 40 26 78 (ENE) 469 cloudy none 03:00 49 39 13 89 (E) 307 cloudy none 04:00 51 36 11 82 (E) 364 mstly cldy none 05:00 50 39 12 94 (E) 885 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
