While centering up my first calibration star the Slitview camera started reading all 0 pix values. I restarted the camera in TUI (hub startNubs dcamera & dcam). That quickly fixed the problem. No problems otherwise. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Air/Truss Wind Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp-C Dir MPH filt FWHM --------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:26 DISslit -12(773) -5 57 4.3/6.4 262 11 none 0.92 17:33 NA2gdr -4632(24367) -8 57 4.2/6.4 256 11 R 0.79 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:01 45 17 13 254 (WSW) 349 Clear none 17:01 40 18 10 262 (W) 490 Clear none 18:01 40 18 10 263 (W) 691 Clear none 19:01 38 18 12 240 (WSW) 865 Mst.
