It was showing that the image was aborted. I tried restarting the ICC but that didn't work. I tried power cycling the camera via the resetAgile.py command but it just hung after the first exposure. I had to go through rebooting nimble twice before it would expose properly. Aside from the agile issue there were no other issues tonight! Not a singles tracking issue with the 3.5m. There was a library issue with arcsat at 21:07 that I asked the users to note in their log. The weather was clear and we had good seeing all night! Plus, Suzanne was up so we got to chat it up :D ------- FAILURE LOG ------- FAILURE MODE TIME PROG INSTR TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:47 ecamera 705( 96) 168 80 10.5 11.7 12.6 11.0 10.9 Clear 1.32 21:33 ecamera 541( -151) 236 70 9.4 9.8 10.7 9.6 9.4 Clear 1.08 23:27 ecamera 473( -238) 238 51 9.5 9.2 9.9 9.0 9.2 Clear 1.42 01:12 ecamera 538( -148) 310 57 11.1 9.8 10.7 9.7 11.3 Clear 0.94 03:45 ecamera 445( -203) 326 55 11.5 10.6 11.1 10.4 11.4 Clear 1.13 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 65 24 7 250 (WSW) 1168 clear none 17:00 63 25 8 257 (WSW) 1255 clear none 18:00 58 27 1 98 (E) 1298 clear none 19:00 52 25 16 76 (ENE) 1413 clear none 20:00 51 24 16 77 (ENE) 1389 clear none 21:00 49 22 13 91 (E) 1268 clear none 22:00 49 23 12 84 (E) 1508 clear none 23:00 48 22 14 78 (ENE) 1307 clear none 00:00 50 22 8 89 (E) 1271 clear none 01:00 55 23 3 240 (WSW) 1215 clear none 02:00 53 20 5 199 (SSW) 966 clear none 03:00 53 20 5 187 (S) 882 clear none 04:00 53 18 8 224 (SW) 741 clear none 05:00 52 19 6 191 (S) 653 clear none 06:00 52 20 6 197 (SSW) 603 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
