Cannot log into Timbuktu anymore? Asking for adminsitrator login. Found Fritz's email about power cycling new ecam. Did that and got it back up. Added this info to the Wiki. 1st half we were struggling to ID the fields on echelle. Pointing seemed to be fine, checked multiple bright stars around the sky. The contrast on the slitviewer with all its flaws makes field ID difficult. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UC03 E I/S 21:10 21:30 ecam power cycle ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:58 dis-slit 234( -257) 284 56 1.9 3.9 3.9 3.8 2.3 1.12 21:32 ECHELLE 522(-1115) -69 67 2.8 2.3 2.5 2.5 2.4 ND1 0.79 00:08 dis-slit 475( -93) 167 80 3.3 2.6 3.0 2.7 2.6 0.86 Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
