We reset rot1 controller, but we still had an issue after that reset. We only did a couple other slews after so the problem may still be present. Emails were sent to the engineering staff with the details. Conner had us doing some filter move tests with ARCTIC, I left the cover off ARCTIC in case Russet wanted to do more tests during the day. The filter was centered when I did my instrument fills this morning. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:32 ecamera 515( -523) 170 70 1.2 2.3 2.2 2.0 1.1 clear 1.10 22:15 ecamera 350( -774) 121 62 -0.1 0.5 1.1 0.7 0.1 ND2 1.30 00:11 dcamera 495( 137) 163 79 -0.8 -1.0 -0.3 -1.0 -1.1 -- 2.00 01:37 dcamera 442( 35) 56 77 -2.2 -2.0 -1.2 -1.9 -2.2 -- 1.27 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 37 9 17 211 (SSW) 718 clear none 17:00 37 8 28 213 (SSW) 796 clear none 18:00 35 6 18 228 (SW) 1430 clear none 19:00 35 4 29 208 (SSW) 1173 clear none 20:00 36 -1 33 223 (SW) 2055 clear none 21:00 34 -1 29 225 (SW) 1474 clear none 22:00 33 -1 27 226 (SW) 1282 clear none 23:00 31 -1 21 244 (WSW) 2070 clear none 00:00 31 1 29 232 (SW) 1507 clear none 01:00 29 3 21 256 (WSW) 1343 clear none 02:00 28 4 23 241 (WSW) 994 clear none 03:00 25 6 16 267 (W) 1010 clear none 04:00 22 9 24 272 (W) 1281 clear none 05:00 21 9 20 290 (WNW) 1178 clear none 06:00 21 9 20 282 (WNW) 902 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
