Russel implemented TCC version 1.0.4 tonight. I updated the Auto Night Log .dat file to reflect this, which has been incorrect for a while. Fritz locked the hub and restarted it. I restarted the mirror controllers (He said they didn't come back after the restart), well and I think the tcc as well. I slewed and everything looked normal on the mirror status outputs. I confirmed we were still running tcc version 1.0.4 light rain/snow after midnight, no accumulation. We gave up at 05:45 with high huidity and clouds ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 37 31 9 318 (NW) 132 cloudy humid 17:00 37 31 5 323 (NW) 163 cloudy humid 18:00 39 31 9 319 (NW) 529 mstly cldy none 19:00 40 31 11 327 (NNW) 467 mstly cldy none 20:00 39 31 10 326 (NW) 448 mstly cldy none 21:00 39 27 5 355 (N) 298 cloudy none 22:00 40 30 2 184 (S) 328 cloudy none 23:00 37 29 5 139 (SE) 317 cloudy none 00:00 37 26 1 7 (N) 159 cloudy lt rain 01:00 34 31 2 112 (ESE) 378 cloudy lt rain 02:00 32 31 16 75 (ENE) 351 cloudy humid 03:00 29 26 14 78 (ENE) 257 cloudy humid 04:00 27 24 14 71 (ENE) 285 cloudy humid 05:00 25 22 18 72 (ENE) 348 cloudy humid 06:00 23 21 16 60 (ENE) 283 mstly cldy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
