Another soggy night where I couldn't open. Called it around 5:30am. No test slew again tonight due to the constant rain and humidity. TSL/3.5m air sensor was frozen for a few hours and was only reading 50%ish humidity in a torrential downpour and heavy fog. Dust counter has been active for the wet weather. ------- 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 49 49 7 144 (SE) cloudy none 17:00 50 50 8 144 (SE) cloudy rain 18:00 51 50 4 180 (S) cloudy lt rain 19:00 50 51 9 193 (SSW) cloudy lt rain 20:00 49 49 14 198 (SSW) cloudy fog 21:00 47 48 10 205 (SSW) cloudy fog 22:00 48 48 22 206 (SSW) cloudy fog 23:00 48 49 22 202 (SSW) cloudy fog 00:00 50 32 25 213 (SSW) 484 cloudy fog 01:00 49 32 17 206 (SSW) 12692 cloudy fog 02:00 50 32 20 197 (SSW) 67468 cloudy rain 03:00 47 32 14 207 (SSW) 14350 cloudy rain 04:00 48 32 18 227 (SW) 9362 cloudy lt rain 05:00 47 48 6 190 (S) cloudy fog Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
