While it was gusty in the afternoon, the dust remained even after the winds died down. By 12 deg twilight the dust was still too high to open and we called it. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 14 219 (SW) 4752 clear dust 17:00 20 249 (WSW) 4669 clear dust 18:00 22 245 (WSW) 5109 clear dust 19:00 23 257 (WSW) 4761 clear dust 20:00 23 267 (W) 4186 clear dust 21:00 14 265 (W) 4403 mstly clr dust 22:00 11 292 (WNW) 4743 mstly clr dust 23:00 12 302 (WNW) 4866 clear dust 00:00 10 265 (W) 4878 clear dust 01:00 9 262 (W) 4911 clear dust 02:00 13 263 (W) 4994 clear dust 03:00 17 240 (WSW) 5089 clear dust 04:00 17 248 (WSW) 5012 clear dust 05:00 15 260 (W) 4703 clear dust 06:00 13 266 (W) 4419 clear dust Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
