I reset it, that fixed the problem. LED closest to the instrument lit. 10:26:25UT echelle slit camera image suddenly jumped and the mask file no longer matched the image. see e2412,fits I had to power cycle the camera to fix it. We also had an image jump on the ARCSAT telescope at almost exactly the same time of the Echelle slit camera jump. Maybe a coincidens but a very peculiar timing. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:09 ecamera 467( -577) -17 55 6.8 9.8 8.9 9.4 8.2 ND3 1.00 23:22 arctic 462( 349) 126 69 6.2 4.7 5.2 4.4 4.8 sdss r 0.86 01:16 ecamera 572( -736) 199 79 6.8 4.9 5.5 4.8 5.2 ND2 0.95 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 20 8 229 (SW) 198 mstly clr none 17:00 47 18 3 234 (SW) 227 mstly clr none 18:00 43 16 1 214 (SW) 180 mstly clr none 19:00 44 11 2 289 (WNW) 150 mstly clr none 20:00 42 5 7 339 (NNW) 59 mstly clr none 21:00 42 7 5 346 (NNW) 80 mstly clr none 22:00 42 12 6 325 (NW) 218 mstly clr none 23:00 42 13 8 337 (NNW) 191 mstly clr none 00:00 42 12 8 324 (NW) 186 mstly clr none 01:00 43 11 6 273 (W) 166 mstly clr none 02:00 44 11 5 258 (WSW) 199 mstly clr none 03:00 44 2 2 244 (WSW) 84 mstly clr none 04:00 45 13 2 234 (SW) 165 mstly clr none 05:00 45 12 0 150 (SSE) 146 mstly clr none 06:00 45 13 5 274 (W) 119 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
