I think this may be normal behaviour. The full frame image may have been taken after the offset was cleared previously but I am not sure. Tonight cleared the offset but did not take another full frame image (probably because the last image was full frame already). I can live with this behaviour, although it would be nice to have that final, after boresight cleared, image automatically. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:20 ecamera 639( 65) 13 46 8.1 9.1 9.1 8.8 8.4 ND3 0.82 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 55 12 28 250 (WSW) 601 ptly cldy none 17:00 52 7 20 268 (W) 529 ptly cldy none 18:00 51 7 10 263 (W) 552 ptly cldy none 19:00 51 5 11 257 (WSW) 656 ptly cldy none 20:00 47 4 20 252 (WSW) 616 mstly clr none 21:00 47 2 15 248 (WSW) 613 mstly clr none 22:00 46 4 15 263 (W) 655 mstly clr none 23:00 45 5 12 266 (W) 812 mstly clr none 00:00 44 6 16 285 (WNW) 687 clear none 01:00 44 6 10 274 (W) 530 clear none 02:00 45 8 5 308 (NW) 360 clear none 03:00 44 8 13 298 (WNW) 417 clear none 04:00 45 8 9 267 (W) 603 clear none 05:00 45 7 11 268 (W) 715 mstly clr none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
