I restarted dcamera and this fixed the problem. Rebooted Agile for observations tomorrow. Ran AgileTestCameraModes script. Telescope got stuck at 77.5 deg alt when I switched to the APOLLO program. PR submitted. Bill told us to just close and they would investigate in the morning. Telescope parked at 100,77.5 tonight per Bill ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UW12 A T/H 04:52 --:-- Telescope refused to move in alt. ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:26 dcamera 558( 1002) 73 70 13.5 15.6 15.5 15.7 13.9 -- 1.35 21:45 dcamera 532( 878) 8 70 13.3 13.7 14.0 13.3 13.2 -- 1.55 01:11 dcamera 547( 827) -5 64 12.7 12.3 12.8 12.3 12.4 -- 1.14 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 24 28 250 (WSW) 1836 mstly cldy none 17:00 64 22 28 267 (W) 1733 mstly cldy none 18:00 61 20 25 256 (WSW) 1822 mstly cldy none 19:00 60 18 23 257 (WSW) 2450 mstly cldy none 20:00 57 15 19 265 (W) 2304 mstly cldy none 21:00 56 14 24 266 (W) 1678 ptly cldy none 22:00 55 13 17 267 (W) 1556 ptly cldy none 23:00 55 13 23 267 (W) 1692 ptly cldy none 00:00 55 13 16 268 (W) 1600 ptly cldy none 01:00 55 14 18 269 (W) 1509 mstly clr none 02:00 55 13 17 272 (W) 1439 ptly cldy none 03:00 54 12 20 272 (W) 1635 ptly cldy none 04:00 54 10 17 271 (W) 1606 ptly cldy none 05:00 52 10 17 282 (WNW) 1375 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
