Outside was reading 81% (3.9C) and the inside was reading 20% with a 11.1C inside temp (wrong) with the dome open several hours. Humidity started climbing around 23:15 We closed at 23:52 due to humidity. We never re-opened as there were clouds that were too close or the humidity was too close to limits, or over. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:06 tcamera 436( 1092) 242 79 5.1 6.7 6.6 6.1 5.2 Ks 1.08 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 49 15 11 200 (SSW) 396 mstly clr none 17:00 47 17 8 243 (WSW) 490 mstly clr none 18:00 43 14 7 202 (SSW) 436 ptly cldy none 19:00 41 23 5 256 (WSW) 536 ptly cldy none 20:00 40 27 7 192 (SSW) 689 ptly cldy none 21:00 41 27 10 184 (S) 742 mstly clr none 22:00 41 29 9 184 (S) 906 mstly clr none 23:00 40 30 16 207 (SSW) ptly cldy none 00:00 39 33 12 204 (SSW) mstly cldy humid 01:00 39 32 6 199 (SSW) mstly cldy humid 02:00 41 31 5 329 (NNW) mstly cldy none 03:00 40 32 1 342 (NNW) mstly cldy none 04:00 38 32 10 224 (SW) mstly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
