My observer observed through most of it and was able to get data despite the clouds, there were a few times he reported the clouds were too thick but we stayed open until Humidity finally closed us at 03:20. @03:07 my TUI disconnected, just needed to log back in. Remote observer TUI was fine. My remote observer had been having intermittent drops tonight and the past couple of nights, but they did not loose connection when I did. Humidity dropped shortly after we closed but the clouds stayed and we never re-opened for the remainder of the night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:47 dssi 575( 1518) 224 77 12.9 13.8 14.1 13.6 13.1 692 0.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 63 47 11 186 (S) 152 mstly clr none 17:00 59 46 4 189 (S) 127 ptly cldy none 18:00 57 41 17 127 (SE) 116 ptly cldy none 19:00 55 40 19 125 (SE) 117 mstly cldy none 20:00 55 38 17 137 (SE) 87 cloudy none 21:00 55 44 18 138 (SE) cloudy none 22:00 54 47 20 134 (SE) cloudy none 23:00 54 47 18 144 (SE) cloudy none 00:00 53 47 14 160 (SSE) mstly cldy none 01:00 54 46 18 161 (SSE) mstly cldy none 02:00 53 46 21 151 (SSE) mstly cldy none 03:00 53 46 18 146 (SE) mstly cldy humid 04:00 52 47 17 162 (SSE) cloudy none 05:00 52 47 22 159 (SSE) cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
