I did another axis stop at 07:49:44 and the alt current went to 0A, as expected. Alt did not seem to move, it was at 45 deg. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:24 dcamera 314( 359) 43 56 4.6 7.5 7.0 7.6 5.2 -- 1.50 23:11 dcamera 244( 142) 241 52 6.1 4.6 5.2 4.6 5.0 -- 1.70 01:18 tcamera 439( 523) 88 70 5.1 4.6 5.1 4.6 4.7 Ks 0.90 03:57 ecamera 388( -757) -134 48 5.1 4.6 5.2 4.6 4.7 ND2 1.74 04:47 dcamera 225( 120) -46 45 4.7 4.4 4.9 4.3 4.4 -- 1.58 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 44 6 8 258 (WSW) 181 ptly cldy none 17:00 41 4 7 208 (SSW) 268 ptly cldy none 18:00 40 7 9 222 (SW) 362 ptly cldy none 19:00 40 9 12 219 (SW) 451 ptly cldy none 20:00 41 10 9 244 (WSW) 473 ptly cldy none 21:00 41 11 11 232 (SW) 549 ptly cldy none 22:00 42 14 15 229 (SW) 603 ptly cldy none 23:00 43 14 9 223 (SW) 744 mstly clr none 00:00 42 14 12 233 (SW) 806 mstly clr none 01:00 40 13 9 204 (SSW) 716 ptly cldy none 02:00 43 10 8 217 (SW) 599 ptly cldy none 03:00 43 8 9 211 (SSW) 515 mstly clr none 04:00 41 11 10 190 (S) 557 ptly cldy none 05:00 39 10 10 178 (S) 472 ptly cldy none 06:00 42 6 8 189 (S) 272 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
