Had a power fluctuation at 22:20 that necessitated a reset of the dome motors. Other than that the night was calm, clear and still. Telescope mirror covers also required a reset in the morning, most likely due to the power fluctuation. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- AD02 EQUIP T/H 22:20 22:39 Power fluctuation halted dome.
