It said slewing but motor control buffer empty was shown. Another axis init fixed the issue. We had clouds all night with an occasional sprinkle or two. Radar returns nearby all night long. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 72 44 11 267 (W) 421 ptly cldy none 17:00 73 46 13 198 (SSW) 412 ptly cldy none 18:00 69 48 6 235 (SW) 496 ptly cldy none 19:00 69 47 7 197 (SSW) 399 cloudy none 20:00 67 45 5 260 (W) 379 cloudy none 21:00 67 45 7 264 (W) 417 cloudy none 22:00 65 47 3 256 (WSW) 379 cloudy none 23:00 65 46 4 264 (W) 310 cloudy none 00:00 65 47 8 264 (W) 233 cloudy none 01:00 64 47 8 191 (S) 377 cloudy lt rain 02:00 64 47 9 201 (SSW) 360 cloudy none 03:00 61 47 10 194 (SSW) 337 cloudy none 04:00 59 49 16 197 (SSW) 284 cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
