I was able to fix it. See PR 2271 edits. Passing storms and radar kept us closed the first half of the night. Weather cleared just after 1am and I was able to open. Once the weather cleared it was a nice easy night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01:28 ecamera 339( 273) 129 70 16.7 17.8 20.2 17.6 16.9 clear 1.03 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 68 37 13 79 (E) 790 mstly cldy none 17:00 69 34 6 88 (E) 786 mstly cldy none 18:00 70 33 4 95 (E) 866 mstly cldy none 19:00 72 37 8 183 (S) 1078 mstly cldy none 20:00 68 40 12 267 (W) 1744 mstly cldy dust 21:00 63 39 7 32 (NNE) 1814 ptly cldy lt rain 22:00 64 37 1 15 (NNE) 1563 ptly cldy none 23:00 63 38 1 213 (SSW) 1590 ptly cldy none 00:00 61 40 2 65 (ENE) 2168 mstly clr none 01:00 65 35 2 270 (W) 1104 clear none 02:00 60 45 7 92 (E) 2350 clear none 03:00 61 41 11 193 (SSW) 2717 clear none 04:00 60 45 8 183 (S) 2441 clear none 05:00 59 46 11 217 (SW) 2448 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
