We kept going until almost 23:30. I closed after JH01 called it just in case the clouds wanted to surprise us with precip. We never reopened. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:38 ecamera 461( -21) 65 80 6.6 9.1 8.2 9.7 7.1 clear 0.79 19:00 ecamera 395( -152) 296 80 8.8 7.7 7.6 7.2 7.9 clear 0.88 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 46 27 3 190 (S) 163 clear none 17:00 45 17 2 236 (SW) 81 clear none 18:00 46 9 4 265 (W) 35 mstly clr none 19:00 48 5 2 223 (SW) 7 ptly cldy none 20:00 46 2 3 210 (SSW) 16 ptly cldy none 21:00 45 2 9 221 (SW) 12 mstly cldy none 22:00 44 4 8 196 (SSW) 26 mstly cldy none 23:00 44 2 12 223 (SW) 57 cloudy none 00:00 41 7 9 188 (S) 40 cloudy none 01:00 41 7 11 225 (SW) 64 cloudy none 02:00 39 9 9 187 (S) 61 cloudy none 03:00 39 19 9 198 (SSW) 308 cloudy none 04:00 42 10 15 238 (WSW) 218 cloudy none 05:00 39 23 10 240 (WSW) 426 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
