Clouds were a pain for most of A-half, but thankfully they cleared. Wind had us pause observations for a while at 3:30am, but it was never enough to close. No telescope or instrument 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:51 ecamera 264( 38) 70 53 9.4 9.9 10.3 9.4 9.3 clear 1.13 00:25 kosmos 314( 1027) 225 60 9.3 8.8 9.3 8.8 9.0 -- 0.95 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 59 6 14 262 (W) 631 mstly clr none 17:00 53 2 8 231 (SW) 785 ptly cldy none 18:00 49 0 13 246 (WSW) 892 mstly cldy none 19:00 49 1 24 239 (WSW) 1031 mstly cldy none 20:00 49 0 19 264 (W) 772 mstly cldy none 21:00 50 -4 23 262 (W) 705 ptly cldy none 22:00 50 -2 16 276 (W) 776 ptly cldy none 23:00 49 -1 15 291 (WNW) 947 clear none 00:00 49 1 19 273 (W) 869 clear none 01:00 48 3 21 267 (W) 917 clear none 02:00 48 0 22 265 (W) 927 clear none 03:00 47 -1 26 271 (W) 894 clear none 04:00 47 2 23 277 (W) 917 clear none 05:00 46 1 21 260 (W) 820 clear none 06:00 44 -5 20 267 (W) 948 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
