I couldn't control them from my TUI either so I did them manually for her thru the MC so she could get on with her science. I tried after her first exposure and the TUI widget for the lamps was working again (I also issued a couple of tlamps status beforehand). TUI lamps widget seemed to work for the rest of the night. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:48 Echelle -40(-1127) 150 59 -0.9 -1.6 -3.1 -2.6 -0.9 ND2 1.1 00:20 DISslit -125(-324) 337 25 0.5 -0.7 -1.3 -1.5 -0.3 none 2.0 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:01 22 15 2 178 (S) 782 clear none 17:01 27 10 8 28 (NNE) 479 clear none 18:01 31 -17 18 48 (NE) 277 clear none 19:01 30 -28 12 81 (E) 217 clear none 20:01 31 -35 12 72 (ENE) 187 clear none 21:01 32 -35 1 156 (SSE) 191 clear none 22:01 32 -35 1 87 (E) 153 cirrus none 23:01 34 -34 2 174 (S) 118 cirrus none 00:01 33 -34 8 125 (SE) 136 cirrus none 01:01 33 -35 6 105 (ESE) 105 cirrus none 02:01 34 -33 7 145 (SE) 102 cirrus none 03:01 34 -33 9 111 (ESE) 97 cirrus none 04:01 35 -33 9 125 (SE) 101 cirrus none 05:01 34 -33 6 176 (S) 102 cirrus none 06:01 36 -32 3 169 (S) 109 cirrus none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
