No problems. The guider failed to automatically stop after a slew was issued tonight. Only happened once. I saw it happen (once) last night with DIS as well. Email sent to responsible parties. It doesn't harm anything, more just an annoyance. No problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:55 ecamera 445( -533) 226 58 2.2 3.3 3.3 2.9 2.4 ND1 0.95 00:13 ecamera 364( -774) 144 72 0.2 0.3 1.0 0.3 0.2 ND1 0.87 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 40 0 11 266 (W) 815 clear none 17:00 38 -1 2 254 (WSW) 799 clear none 18:00 36 -1 9 259 (W) 741 clear none 19:00 35 -1 10 273 (W) 761 clear none 20:00 34 -1 11 263 (W) 835 clear none 21:00 34 -1 5 258 (WSW) 785 clear none 22:00 36 0 7 262 (W) 768 clear none 23:00 34 -2 4 186 (S) 647 clear none 00:00 33 -2 8 179 (S) 693 ptly cldy none 01:00 34 -2 8 177 (S) 699 ptly cldy none 02:00 31 -2 15 137 (SE) 709 ptly cldy none 03:00 29 -1 11 128 (SE) 857 ptly cldy none 04:00 26 0 4 99 (E) 776 clear none 05:00 30 2 8 192 (SSW) 802 clear none 06:00 30 1 2 191 (S) 827 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
