Power-cycled the rotator, and had no further problems with it. ARCSAT received a "shutter error" shortly after being on sky. I could not affect the shutter, but parked the dome, reset the motors, and then unhomed the dome. This cleared the error with no further problems. Great seeing all night, averaging below 1". No problems. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:10 AGILE 303(-1868) 135 50 4.1 4.2 4.2 3.8 2.7 BG40 1.14 02:16 AGILE 278(-2041) -33 75 4.1 1.6 2.0 1.7 2.0 BG40 0.87 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 10 330 (NNW) 67 clear none 17:00 7 327 (NNW) 35 clear none 18:00 10 346 (NNW) 25 clear none 19:00 11 11 (N) 16 clear none 20:00 7 41 (NE) 20 clear none 21:00 8 334 (NNW) 21 clear none 22:00 9 289 (WNW) 19 clear none 23:00 11 346 (NNW) 27 clear none 00:00 14 325 (NW) 27 clear none 01:00 20 304 (NW) 28 clear none 02:00 9 351 (N) 17 clear none 03:00 10 337 (NNW) 32 clear none 04:00 17 326 (NW) 32 clear none 05:00 12 334 (NNW) 43 clear none 06:00 11 352 (N) 45 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
