The Echelle guider locked up around 20:51 (stopped taking images). The observer noticed it wouldn't change to a large field when she moved to her next target. A reboot of the computer quickly fixed the problem. The humidity closed us down around 01:00 and we remained closed for the remainder of the night. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEGDFVO) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- JH04 E I/S 20:51 21:10 Echelle SV locked up ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:12 Echelle 11(88) 62 61 8.7/11.3 69 18 ND2 3.5 21:10 Echelle 100(42) 79 69 8.1/8.7 74 15 clear 3.8 -------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 18:01 64 35 6 298 (WNW) 233 Clear none 19:01 53 38 9 80 (E) 1036 Clear none 20:01 48 37 19 72 (ENE) 1684 Clear none 21:01 47 37 13 80 (E) 1691 Clear none 22:01 48 36 12 65 (ENE) 1452 Pt.
