Weather was atrocious all night, I called it at 4:30am since there was no hope of it getting better before twilight. I did not do test slews tonight as I did not feel comfortable opening mirror covers with all this rain. DSSI has been packed up and moved to its home in the corner of the dome. 3.5m air sensor is calibrating at night, it happened last night reading 300% humidity and tonight at 4:15am reading 275% humidity. Plots in grafana show the spike as well. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 52 47 20 125 (SE) cloudy rain 17:00 55 33 17 131 (SE) 404 cloudy none 18:00 54 32 12 109 (ESE) 474 cloudy none 19:00 53 32 11 94 (E) 955 cloudy none 20:00 52 31 15 86 (E) 537 cloudy rain 21:00 51 28 12 92 (E) 375 cloudy rain 22:00 50 29 15 92 (E) 521 cloudy rain 23:00 50 28 18 83 (E) 156 cloudy rain 00:00 50 28 26 118 (ESE) 316 cloudy rain 01:00 49 28 20 149 (SSE) 519 cloudy rain 02:00 49 28 13 112 (ESE) 381 cloudy lt rain 03:00 50 28 21 109 (ESE) 560 cloudy rain 04:00 50 28 25 127 (SE) 673 cloudy rain Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
