It appeared that the echelle ICC was running. I restarted the ICC per the wiki, which appeared to kill and restart the ICC cleanly. This fixed the issue. When I went up to mount ARCTIC the NA2 rotator was off about +2.3 deg. I crudely zero'ed it using the tick tape on the rotator. I also had several issues with ARCSAT tonight that kept me busy the first half. My observers targets were getting low so we finished up a little early. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:00 dcamera 430( 1303) 39 57 18.9 21.0 20.6 20.7 18.6 -- 1.04 22:48 arctic 475( 1421) 266 46 16.5 17.4 17.8 16.6 16.4 sdss_r 1.30 23:21 ecamera 462( 266) 171 62 16.1 16.8 17.3 16.2 16.1 Clear 1.13 01:09 dcamera 582( 1201) 100 45 16.2 15.8 16.4 15.8 15.9 -- 1.12 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 71 28 15 218 (SW) 680 mstly clr none 17:00 74 32 12 240 (WSW) 597 ptly cldy none 18:00 69 27 5 222 (SW) 652 ptly cldy none 19:00 72 28 14 252 (WSW) 468 ptly cldy none 20:00 68 25 6 269 (W) 545 mstly clr none 21:00 66 22 2 263 (W) 561 clear none 22:00 62 33 17 151 (SSE) 730 clear none 23:00 62 34 17 145 (SE) 657 clear none 00:00 61 33 20 141 (SE) 496 clear none 01:00 61 32 17 141 (SE) 497 clear none 02:00 61 34 17 132 (SE) 394 clear none 03:00 59 35 23 143 (SE) 473 clear none 04:00 59 35 22 166 (SSE) 489 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
