Dembicky Could not connect to gmech actor (tried hub startNubs gmech). Apparently the hub was restarted today as several instruments did not auto connect. (Device gmech is not connected). Since the NA2 guider was in fair focus when the instrument was focused I did not try to fix it (we were guiding and didn't want to mess that up). I also could not connect to the NICFPS either (it failed, then seemed hung. I managed to get it working with a nicfpsExpose and init command). No telescope/instrument problems. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SAEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:19 GFP 150(899) -35 65 17.4 19.0 19.4 17.9 17.4 R 1.0 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:00 72 17 23 247 (WSW) 2480 Pt.
