I adjusted the Echelle pointing. The Echelle slitviewer hung on several occasions, when the stop guiding button was pressed from the remote user. A simple restart of the ecamera and ecam fixed the problem quickly ------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:44 NICFPS 130(1135) -56 40 16.4 18.4 16.6 17.4 16.7 H 0.7 21:29 NICFPS 67(1063) -65 31 16.4 17.2 16.4 16.9 16.4 Ks 0.7 00:57 Echelle -59(-463) -96 76 15.8 15.4 15.0 15.6 15.4 ND2 0.7 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions --------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 71 24 10 242 (WSW) 797 pt. cldy none 17:00 71 20 9 268 (W) 780 pt. cldy none 18:00 70 19 12 268 (W) 796 pt. cldy none 19:00 63 14 8 274 (W) 784 pt. cldy none 20:00 61 16 9 292 (WNW) 754 pt. cldy none 21:00 62 18 6 288 (WNW) 804 pt. cldy none 22:00 61 23 6 271 (W) 826 pt. cldy none 23:00 61 22 3 277 (W) 827 pt. cldy none 00:00 61 20 5 219 (SW) 816 pt. cldy none 01:00 61 18 7 213 (SSW) 868 clear none 02:00 60 20 6 260 (W) 868 clear none 03:00 60 20 5 265 (W) 851 clear none 04:00 60 19 6 235 (SW) 995 pt. cldy none 05:00 59 21 1 131 (SE) 992 pt. cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
