This was solved after logging into the icc and killing and restarting the processes three times. An update was made to PR 1590. Tspec exposures were corrupted. I took 1000 darks. Storms started building in the afternoon and continued throughout the night. It started raining around 21:30 and continued on and off for the rest of the night with very high (+95%) humidity. At 04:10, GS03 decided to call it quits and logged off. ------- 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 C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 56 38 15 207 (SSW) 314 cloudy none 17:00 55 37 17 204 (SSW) 452 cloudy none 18:00 53 37 17 209 (SSW) 400 cloudy none 19:00 51 39 7 199 (SSW) 520 cloudy none 20:00 51 38 15 198 (SSW) 454 cloudy none 21:00 50 37 14 180 (S) 412 cloudy rain 22:00 50 38 17 150 (SSE) 427 cloudy rain 23:00 49 39 14 169 (S) 287 cloudy rain 00:00 43 40 23 131 (SE) 429 cloudy rain 01:00 42 41 13 81 (E) 392 cloudy rain 02:00 45 40 13 129 (SE) 266 cloudy rain 03:00 45 43 14 206 (SSW) 558 cloudy rain 04:00 46 45 18 197 (SSW) 795 cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
