I updated some ARCSAT wiki information while we were closed. We had some very light rain started around 01:00, I could feel the sprinkles on my skin but didn't really see any on the concrete. Clouds just hung over top of us all night. I finally called it around 05:20 as the satellite image showed more clouds forming on us and they sky cam showed lots of clouds as well. ------- 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 57 32 12 211 (SSW) 880 mstly cldy none 17:00 56 32 8 186 (S) 872 mstly cldy none 18:00 58 32 9 195 (SSW) 871 ptly cldy none 19:00 53 32 10 176 (S) 862 mstly cldy none 20:00 53 32 12 144 (SE) 888 mstly cldy none 21:00 52 32 14 142 (SE) 847 cloudy none 22:00 53 31 14 164 (SSE) 783 cloudy none 23:00 53 32 13 166 (SSE) 869 cloudy none 00:00 51 32 14 150 (SSE) 912 cloudy lt rain 01:00 51 32 12 174 (S) 964 cloudy lt rain 02:00 51 31 15 179 (S) 965 cloudy lt rain 03:00 50 32 12 183 (S) 1121 cloudy none 04:00 50 32 12 174 (S) 1188 mstly cldy none 05:00 50 31 9 186 (S) 1035 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
