The Dataq display showed the drive was not happy. I power cycled the red stop button and reinitialized the drives and it was happy for the next slew. No problems the remainder of the night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:16 arctic 659( 494) 33 37 0.4 3.2 2.7 3.8 2.0 sdss r 1.40 20:51 arctic 554( 245) 152 64 -0.2 0.8 1.1 0.3 0.1 659/3 1.40 23:03 arctic 509( 155) 26 68 0.6 -0.0 0.6 -0.3 -0.1 sdss r 1.00 01:17 AGILE 434(-2111) 20 29 -0.1 -0.4 0.2 -0.5 -0.6 BG40 2.30 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 37 15 7 332 (NNW) 431 clear none 17:00 43 18 5 254 (WSW) 453 clear none 18:00 40 16 6 256 (WSW) 458 clear none 19:00 37 15 9 233 (SW) 468 clear none 20:00 34 13 4 257 (WSW) 477 clear none 21:00 32 8 2 194 (SSW) 520 clear none 22:00 31 8 1 183 (S) 479 clear none 23:00 33 7 2 190 (S) 473 clear none 00:00 33 7 0 183 (S) 478 clear none 01:00 33 9 4 79 (E) 571 clear none 02:00 33 11 0 2 (N) 501 clear none 03:00 33 8 1 334 (NNW) 507 clear none 04:00 32 7 5 291 (WNW) 531 clear none 05:00 31 8 6 309 (NW) 525 clear none 06:00 31 9 6 329 (NNW) 560 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
