+
+At start of shift gusty winds, up to 20 m/s from the NNE made donuts out of the RoboDIMM image. Due to the winds the Seeing Monitor is down. We will try though. Locked onto Sirius at 0510. Star reacquired numerous times as RoboDIMM can only hold star for 3 to 5 minutes. To Spica at 0800. The Seeing Monitor is still down for weather. Qtfocus indicates poor seeing. Moved to Arcturus at 0905. Too windy to acquire. Now just waiting for the winds to subside or call it a night. At midnight, no change in weather. Going home.

+
+At the start of shift, we have winds gusting into the 20's m/s, high humidity and fog. Temp is 1.9 C. Rob added some lead weight to the Mead telescope to mitigate vibration in the case we do observe. It appears that some of RoboDIMM's bouncing is caused by the winds vibrating the dome floor. Uninterrupted high winds and fog continue through midnight. We're bailing.

+Poor weather; no RoboDIMM observations

+
+Clear but windy (6-10 m/s with periods to ~15 m/s) night. DNSM was closed from 10-11 due to high winds. Little DNSM data throughout the night probably due to a combination of high wind and poor seeing. Followed DNSM star list http://banana.ifa.hawaii.edu/data/nsm/seeinglist/2010/list.071 Moved to Antares at 12:50 because Arcturus was directly overhead.

+Clear night with moderate (<7 m/s) E-SE winds. Seeing reported by DNSM consistently mediocre. Followed DNSM star list http://banana.ifa.hawaii.edu/data/nsm/seeinglist/2010/list.072 from 5-13 UT.
