We still had clouds but no threat of rain nearby so I felt safe to open. Clouds quickly re-formed over us and the 2nd program got nothghing useful at all. They gave up at 02:00. The clouds parted ways around 03:40. I spent the extra time focusing and getting ready for my last program of the night so they could get going as soon as they logged in. No 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23:23 kosmos 425( 1019) 144 39 9.9 10.1 10.4 10.1 9.6 -- 1.50 03:54 khigh 475( 913) 180 63 7.6 7.2 7.9 7.1 7.1 -- 1.20 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 56 16 17 234 (SW) 1270 cloudy none 17:00 55 14 17 236 (SW) 1064 cloudy none 18:00 53 14 21 250 (WSW) 1149 cloudy none 19:00 53 15 19 268 (W) 1006 cloudy none 20:00 52 14 10 265 (W) 900 cloudy none 21:00 51 15 10 258 (WSW) 983 cloudy none 22:00 50 14 10 261 (W) 1098 mstly cldy none 23:00 50 14 17 257 (WSW) 1109 mstly cldy none 00:00 49 14 11 269 (W) 1252 cloudy none 01:00 48 17 9 264 (W) 1389 cloudy none 02:00 47 20 14 273 (W) 1497 cloudy none 03:00 47 21 24 278 (W) 1508 mstly cldy none 04:00 46 22 16 266 (W) 1346 mstly clr none 05:00 45 22 15 256 (WSW) 1348 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
