Reset fixed the problem 07:15UT ARCTIC shutter Error again. Another reset (The 3rd LED from the top of the box was the one triggered). This time I also did an ARCTIC init. No further ARCTIC shutter problems. A nice clear night but seeing was very poor early on. It improved somewhat later during the night but still not great. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:50 ecamera 800( 0) 150 54 14.0 14.6 15.5 14.4 14.2 clear 2.25 23:11 arctic 500( 773) 179 63 12.1 12.2 12.9 12.3 12.2 SDSS r 2.80 01:25 ecamera 600( -359) 93 58 11.6 11.6 12.0 11.7 11.6 clear 1.80 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 69 36 12 113 (ESE) 513 mstly clr none 17:00 68 34 20 79 (E) 622 mstly clr none 18:00 67 35 15 84 (E) 667 clear none 19:00 65 38 17 82 (E) 1021 clear none 20:00 62 39 20 81 (E) 1065 clear none 21:00 59 41 20 84 (E) 1333 clear none 22:00 57 43 18 86 (E) 1666 clear none 23:00 55 44 17 78 (ENE) 1965 clear none 00:00 54 44 15 91 (E) 1982 clear none 01:00 53 44 13 95 (E) 2104 clear none 02:00 53 45 15 86 (E) 2478 clear none 03:00 53 44 17 73 (ENE) 2086 clear none 04:00 54 43 13 49 (NE) 1856 clear none 05:00 54 40 16 83 (E) 1457 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
