Although we got no rain, there was lots of nearby radar and then some really thick clouds during B-half. We were able to be open for some of the night, but it was a struggle. We gave up for the night at 04:20 due to clouds. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:59 ecamera 453( 435) 76 70 15.1 18.6 18.6 19.1 16.0 ND2 1.49 00:29 kosmos 475( 1258) 79 55 13.8 14.4 15.3 14.1 13.8 -- 1.19 01:26 NICFPS 531( 1704) -74 50 15.0 14.2 14.8 13.8 14.4 MK-J 0.76 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 33 10 270 (W) 1125 ptly cldy none 17:00 67 33 3 298 (WNW) 1041 ptly cldy none 18:00 69 33 12 244 (WSW) 1128 ptly cldy none 19:00 62 32 10 257 (WSW) 1131 mstly cldy none 20:00 61 32 12 218 (SW) 1204 mstly clr none 21:00 59 31 12 180 (S) 1367 mstly clr none 22:00 57 31 8 180 (S) 1358 mstly clr none 23:00 56 30 2 198 (SSW) ptly cldy none 00:00 56 30 1 134 (SE) 1352 ptly cldy none 01:00 58 30 6 197 (SSW) 1303 mstly cldy none 02:00 58 30 2 194 (SSW) 1288 mstly cldy none 03:00 60 30 9 242 (WSW) 1091 mstly cldy none 04:00 58 30 6 231 (SW) 1245 mstly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
