We had rain during A half and large swings in humidity as the wind changed direction. The clouds started clearing for B half and I honestly thought we would be able to open. But clouds kept rolling in from the east and west and there were radar returns so we stayed closed all night. 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 74 51 9 288 (WNW) 877 cloudy none 17:00 69 50 7 272 (W) 861 cloudy none 18:00 66 51 8 28 (NNE) 901 cloudy none 19:00 66 50 7 92 (E) 649 cloudy lt rain 20:00 65 50 2 102 (ESE) 680 cloudy none 21:00 64 50 6 99 (E) 787 cloudy lt rain 22:00 66 40 4 103 (ESE) 517 cloudy none 23:00 66 44 1 132 (SE) 580 cloudy none 00:00 67 43 1 241 (WSW) 538 cloudy none 01:00 65 45 1 274 (W) 606 mstly cldy none 02:00 65 46 1 244 (WSW) 683 mstly clr none 03:00 64 41 5 358 (N) 551 mstly cldy none 04:00 64 48 2 275 (W) 698 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
