Over the course of the night, threatening radar echoes also approached (but the rain sensor never went off), and the wind gusts spent a few hours over the limits as well. Perhaps we will get some moisture as payment for a night of no data! ------- 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 48 17 9 256 (WSW) 455 ptly cldy none 17:00 46 18 14 234 (SW) 443 mstly cldy none 18:00 44 18 16 213 (SSW) 478 cloudy none 19:00 46 14 18 206 (SSW) 454 cloudy none 20:00 45 15 19 209 (SSW) 425 cloudy none 21:00 44 17 19 207 (SSW) 549 mstly cldy none 22:00 44 19 26 212 (SSW) 648 mstly cldy none 23:00 43 15 25 211 (SSW) 773 ptly cldy none 00:00 43 13 14 238 (WSW) 529 mstly cldy none 01:00 42 9 23 221 (SW) 403 mstly cldy none 02:00 43 9 23 254 (WSW) 417 cloudy none 03:00 42 11 26 222 (SW) 432 cloudy none 04:00 40 15 30 221 (SW) 526 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
