It was working fine for me, but I don't know why he couldn't get it to expose/guide on his end. He was on campus at NMSU so I don't think it was a network issue. He was running TUI 2.5.0b5 on a Linux box. I just took care of guiding for the observer since they were having issues. No problems other than with the clouds 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:00 arctic 565( 854) 204 67 7.8 8.7 8.7 8.3 7.7 UNM658 1.90 22:03 arctic 491( 626) 53 59 5.2 5.6 6.2 5.5 5.4 SDSS_r 1.35 00:25 tcamera 582( 697) -29 59 4.1 4.2 4.9 4.2 4.1 Ks 1.20 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 11 10 248 (WSW) 268 ptly cldy none 17:00 47 9 12 319 (NW) 240 ptly cldy none 18:00 46 12 7 267 (W) 267 mstly clr none 19:00 46 13 13 260 (W) 292 ptly cldy none 20:00 44 13 19 223 (SW) 347 ptly cldy none 21:00 42 8 11 264 (W) 391 ptly cldy none 22:00 42 4 14 277 (W) 381 ptly cldy none 23:00 41 2 14 281 (W) 474 mstly cldy none 00:00 40 6 16 289 (WNW) 489 ptly cldy none 01:00 39 9 14 298 (WNW) 428 mstly cldy none 02:00 39 6 16 322 (NW) 446 mstly cldy none 03:00 40 6 16 306 (NW) 394 mstly cldy none 04:00 39 7 8 268 (W) 389 mstly clr none 05:00 38 8 12 328 (NNW) 329 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
