Opened at 00:20. WC01 called it quits for the night at 23:30 saying they didn't have enough time left for science. 0.8 hours of dark time were donated to CU02 because of this. This change has been noted in the section above. Closed at 2:20 due to clouds. Called it quits at 3am per observer's instruction. No productive science was had by any program tonight :( No telescope/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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:51 kosmos 710( 1134) 104 65 6.2 6.9 8.1 6.3 6.1 -- 1.42 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 52 21 22 266 (W) 1038 ptly cldy none 17:00 52 20 31 255 (WSW) 1018 ptly cldy none 18:00 51 18 27 270 (W) 882 ptly cldy none 19:00 49 17 24 251 (WSW) 1317 ptly cldy none 20:00 49 22 27 259 (W) 1187 ptly cldy none 21:00 48 26 24 262 (W) 1777 ptly cldy none 22:00 46 30 30 269 (W) 1849 ptly cldy none 23:00 44 30 28 267 (W) 2820 ptly cldy none 00:00 43 30 18 265 (W) 1001 ptly cldy none 01:00 43 31 11 263 (W) 714 ptly cldy none 02:00 43 30 20 273 (W) 644 mstly cldy none 03:00 43 30 22 268 (W) 472 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
