All 4 guide cameras were unresponsive during checkout. Fritz restarted the hub, and we were able to get them back. Gcam needed a reboot of its own in addition to that. Otherwise 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:56 dcamera 275( 160) -60 62 3.3 4.6 3.9 4.1 3.3 -- 1.28 01:25 tcamera 495( 456) 199 62 2.7 2.1 2.6 2.2 2.3 -- 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 4 -7 9 329 (NNW) mstly cldy lt rain 17:00 2 -3 15 89 (E) mstly clr none 18:00 3 -5 4 95 (E) mstly clr none 19:00 3 -7 1 99 (E) clear none 20:00 3 -10 2 261 (W) clear none 21:00 3 -11 1 37 (NE) clear none 22:00 3 -9 15 47 (NE) clear none 23:00 2 -8 20 65 (ENE) clear none 00:00 2 -8 19 57 (ENE) clear none 01:00 2 -8 18 63 (ENE) clear none 02:00 3 -9 16 61 (ENE) clear none 03:00 2 -10 13 71 (ENE) clear none 04:00 2 -10 5 315 (NW) clear none 05:00 2 -9 11 57 (ENE) clear none 06:00 1 -9 14 65 (ENE) clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
