Also had to reset mirror covers. Otherwise instruments and telescope were well behaved. Arctic LL quad was even fine during checkout. Thunderstorms all around until sunset where it magically cleared up for a couple hours. Incoming rain forced closure again at 2225. Reopened just in time for B-half. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:06 kosmos 550( 1450) 96 55 17.6 16.9 19.1 16.4 16.8 -- 1.29 01:18 ecamera 609( 413) 84 34 14.0 14.5 16.1 14.3 14.1 Clear 2.40 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 63 40 21 73 (ENE) 1110 cloudy rain 17:00 51 44 2 1 (N) 2108 cloudy rain 18:00 51 33 28 80 (E) 910 cloudy none 19:00 54 32 15 86 (E) 716 cloudy none 20:00 57 25 7 159 (SSE) 564 mstly cldy none 21:00 62 32 9 181 (S) 1826 clear none 22:00 59 32 16 126 (SE) 1189 cloudy none 23:00 57 32 26 128 (SE) 605 mstly cldy none 00:00 58 31 18 146 (SE) 615 mstly cldy none 01:00 58 31 13 147 (SSE) 692 mstly clr none 02:00 58 31 14 182 (S) 940 mstly clr none 03:00 61 31 13 181 (S) 1020 mstly clr none 04:00 60 31 17 181 (S) 814 mstly clr none 05:00 59 25 13 195 (SSW) 658 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
