Weather remained bad the rest of the night. DSSI is all packed up and put away. No test slews tonight as humidity was too high to open mirror covers. Gave up just after 5am when a big fog bank rolled in. ------- 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 51 45 15 187 (S) ptly cldy humid 17:00 50 45 18 223 (SW) mstly cldy humid 18:00 48 47 15 217 (SW) cloudy rain 19:00 47 43 13 172 (S) cloudy humid 20:00 47 44 17 191 (S) mstly cldy humid 21:00 48 43 18 205 (SSW) ptly cldy humid 22:00 47 44 9 174 (S) mstly cldy humid 23:00 47 46 13 200 (SSW) cloudy humid 00:00 47 40 13 158 (SSE) cloudy lt rain 01:00 46 43 6 217 (SW) cloudy humid 02:00 46 40 7 183 (S) cloudy humid 03:00 46 36 2 126 (SE) cloudy none 04:00 45 39 2 182 (S) cloudy humid 05:00 45 45 14 206 (SSW) cloudy fog Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
