Voelz, R.Hull, J.Berdis UW01 ToO program for the first several hours of the night. At instrument changeover to the echelle I saw this error come through TUI. 2016-12-14 04:57:51 CmdStarted: NM06.Hongliang-2 11 echelle mirror sky 2016-12-14 04:57:52 NM06.Hongliang-2 11 echelle f text="exceptions.RuntimeError: [Calibration Mirror Move Error! :: Mirror not fully out of beam path]" IDK what caused the error but from the log it looks like they were moving the cal mirror to sky. I had no problem when I did it a minute later. We never had any other problems with the echelle or the mirrors. Successful night with NAIC. NAIC was left mounted on the telescope so they could take a bunch of moring cals. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:35 dcamera 802( 603) -81 74 4.5 6.0 6.2 6.2 5.2 -- 1.15 19:27 dcamera 727( 432) 191 81 4.0 4.2 4.7 4.0 3.9 -- 1.00 22:01 ecamera 802( -576) 289 78 3.7 3.5 4.0 3.7 3.7 ND3 1.25 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 43 30 11 261 (W) 196 ptly cldy none 17:00 40 30 12 259 (W) 320 ptly cldy none 18:00 40 30 12 263 (W) 347 ptly cldy none 19:00 40 30 13 247 (WSW) 354 ptly cldy none 20:00 39 30 12 253 (WSW) 233 mstly clr none 21:00 39 30 12 278 (W) 213 mstly clr none 22:00 39 29 11 273 (W) 229 mstly clr none 23:00 38 29 20 293 (WNW) 219 mstly clr none 00:00 39 27 19 300 (WNW) 181 mstly clr none 01:00 39 27 19 319 (NW) 169 mstly clr none 02:00 40 25 17 334 (NNW) 138 mstly clr none 03:00 40 25 20 314 (NW) 137 mstly clr none 04:00 39 26 9 300 (WNW) 119 mstly clr none 05:00 37 27 11 322 (NW) 136 mstly clr none 06:00 37 27 11 336 (NNW) 106 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
