Images too early error. I restarted the heartbeat tonight and all was well again with Agile. ARCTIC was also showing an pink filter and ? in the filter dropdown area (dropdown had actual filters). I homed the wheel, which didn't fix this. The solution was more simple than that, simply select a filter from the drop down and apply, this caused the filter to move and update correctly (non-pink) in the current filter display. No telescope problems tonight with the 3.5m. We had some internet connectivity issues with the ARCSAT dome. Resetting a box fixed those problems. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:29 ecamera 746( -294) 47 61 1.0 2.1 2.5 1.8 1.2 ND4 0.71 23:17 APOLLO 650( 1277) -76 47 1.7 0.6 1.1 0.8 1.5 -- 1.10 00:18 ecamera 672( -437) 26 64 1.3 0.8 1.6 1.4 1.4 ND4 0.79 03:19 NICFPS 747( 978) -61 42 0.5 0.3 1.0 0.4 0.6 H2-2.12 0.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 37 16 8 266 (W) 405 mstly clr none 17:00 34 15 3 299 (WNW) mstly clr none 18:00 35 15 10 277 (W) clear none 19:00 34 18 7 264 (W) clear none 20:00 34 15 10 264 (W) 434 clear none 21:00 34 15 6 253 (WSW) 441 clear none 22:00 34 14 11 225 (SW) 420 clear none 23:00 34 12 12 264 (W) 343 clear none 00:00 35 13 9 257 (WSW) 424 clear none 01:00 34 11 11 233 (SW) 344 clear none 02:00 34 9 6 259 (W) 348 clear none 03:00 33 9 6 263 (W) 325 clear none 04:00 31 11 8 323 (NW) 417 clear none 05:00 32 11 7 359 (N) 304 clear none 06:00 33 8 8 24 (NNE) 241 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
