Dust got high at sunset but not enough to close. However, after midnight, the clouds started rolling in. NA02 finished their second night and did great! However, the clouds stopped their progress at 6:30 and we called it quits. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:49 kosmos 428( 1344) 120 73 10.6 12.2 12.3 11.9 11.1 — 1.16 01:26 tcamera 401( 1402) 74 70 11.1 9.7 10.3 9.3 10.2 Ks 0.96 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 55 8 8 331 (NNW) 3512 clear none 17:00 54 11 8 357 (N) 2589 clear none 18:00 53 10 5 352 (N) 3372 clear none 19:00 51 10 1 15 (NNE) 2984 clear none 20:00 51 10 9 358 (N) 2678 clear none 21:00 50 12 11 10 (N) 1968 clear none 22:00 51 11 12 26 (NNE) 1971 clear none 23:00 51 8 8 53 (NE) 3464 clear none 00:00 53 9 5 168 (SSE) 2611 clear none 01:00 52 9 5 165 (SSE) 2492 clear none 01:00 52 9 8 137 (SE) 2218 mstly clr none 02:00 51 8 5 187 (S) 2642 mstly clr none 03:00 51 9 2 211 (SSW) 2638 ptly cldy none 04:00 51 9 3 245 (WSW) 2465 ptly cldy none 05:00 49 9 6 330 (NNW) 1798 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
