I also saw lightining in the west (approaching system) and could smell moisture in the air. gmech was not connected and refused to connect to the hub. I logged out of the terminal server, per Fritz email from a few days ago, and that fixed the problem. I updated the wiki with this info as well. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:18 ecamera 293( -270) 5 53 16.8 19.1 19.0 18.9 18.2 ND4 1.14 03:50 NICFPS 238( 995) 242 41 15.3 14.3 15.2 14.1 14.2 Ks 1.00 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 49 1 284 (WNW) 485 mstly cldy none 17:00 65 44 2 300 (WNW) 222 mstly cldy none 18:00 67 41 4 266 (W) 305 ptly cldy none 19:00 65 40 5 274 (W) 310 ptly cldy none 20:00 63 42 8 258 (WSW) 329 ptly cldy none 21:00 62 47 3 191 (S) 364 mstly clr none 22:00 61 47 3 195 (SSW) 353 mstly clr none 23:00 59 47 4 197 (SSW) 387 ptly cldy none 00:00 54 51 15 162 (SSE) 467 cloudy humid 01:00 54 52 15 140 (SE) 781 cloudy humid 02:00 55 51 4 96 (E) 750 mstly cldy none 03:00 60 47 1 253 (WSW) 426 ptly cldy none 04:00 60 48 2 271 (W) 447 mstly clr none 05:00 60 48 6 325 (NW) 426 mstly clr none 06:00 59 48 6 342 (NNW) 464 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
