TSPEC leach controller needed to be reset. Lots of vertical lines on the right half of the chip. Ressetting controller seemed to have resolved the issue we were seeing. APOLLO switchbox seemed fine all night long tonight. I left ARCTIC on so they could get some dome flats in the 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:30 ecamera 463( 430) -111 37 18.5 21.4 20.8 21.1 18.8 ND4 1.30 20:26 tcamera 610( 1493) -21 68 17.0 19.3 19.3 18.7 17.4 Ks 1.20 00:15 arctic 466( 1164) -160 60 18.5 16.6 17.1 16.6 17.1 SDSS_r 1.00 00:16 NA2gdr 6537(36537) -160 60 18.4 16.6 17.1 16.6 17.2 clear 1.40 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 73 37 9 217 (SW) 2047 mstly clr none 17:00 73 35 4 354 (N) 1880 mstly clr none 18:00 72 34 7 282 (WNW) 1787 clear none 19:00 71 30 7 216 (SW) 1633 clear none 20:00 69 29 8 252 (WSW) 1492 clear none 21:00 64 43 13 128 (SE) 1686 clear none 22:00 62 44 14 124 (SE) 1682 clear none 23:00 63 43 8 134 (SE) 1831 clear none 00:00 63 41 13 148 (SSE) 1955 clear none 01:00 65 40 11 195 (SSW) 1973 clear none 02:00 65 40 12 191 (S) 2292 clear none 03:00 64 41 11 205 (SSW) 2427 clear none 04:00 63 42 8 191 (S) 2436 clear none 05:00 60 43 9 183 (S) 2582 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
