Lots of rain, all the rain. Clouds, fog, rain. No hope of opening. The puddle by the echelle was much smaller today but I still wasn't going to risk opening the mirror covers. 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 57 58 6 234 (SW) cloudy rain 17:00 57 55 5 113 (ESE) cloudy rain 18:00 55 53 9 96 (E) cloudy rain 19:00 54 52 12 60 (ENE) cloudy rain 20:00 53 52 18 69 (ENE) cloudy rain 21:00 53 51 18 74 (ENE) cloudy humid 22:00 52 50 22 79 (E) ptly cldy humid 23:00 53 48 24 66 (ENE) mstly cldy humid 00:00 51 49 24 79 (E) cloudy humid 01:00 51 49 21 64 (ENE) cloudy rain 02:00 51 50 17 68 (ENE) cloudy rain 03:00 51 49 17 75 (ENE) cloudy rain 04:00 50 50 12 75 (ENE) cloudy rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
