When I connected to it via the Nubs it threw an error on the NICFPS-ICS window. I restarted the NICFPS-ICS software and tried again, but got delayed in connecting via the Nubs. When I connected it threw the error again. Again, I restarted the ICS, then connected the Nubs and all seemed to work fine. I took images and they appear to be fine as well. Delayed opening tonight due to clouds and light snow flurries at sunset. No problems tonight. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:12 tcamera 362( 487) 16 56 -4.7 -0.7 -1.5 -0.8 -3.6 Ks 1.14 19:39 tcamera 320( 409) -117 54 -4.7 -1.4 -2.4 -2.2 -3.6 Ks 1.01 00:13 tcamera 391( 279) 44 62 -5.7 -5.6 -5.0 -5.9 -5.9 Ks 1.04 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 34 18 4 238 (WSW) 1171 mstly clr none 17:00 32 17 9 257 (WSW) 1116 mstly cldy lt snow 18:00 28 16 4 254 (WSW) 1188 mstly cldy none 19:00 24 16 4 280 (W) 1121 clear none 20:00 24 15 1 303 (WNW) 1138 clear none 21:00 24 15 2 332 (NNW) 1007 clear none 22:00 24 14 6 355 (N) 868 clear none 23:00 24 12 10 24 (NNE) 872 clear none 00:00 23 14 1 200 (SSW) 910 clear none 01:00 24 9 9 8 (N) 812 clear none 02:00 23 9 14 28 (NNE) 819 clear none 03:00 26 -1 7 92 (E) 714 clear none 04:00 28 -6 12 94 (E) 949 clear none 05:00 27 -9 13 99 (E) 656 clear none 06:00 28 -9 9 102 (ESE) 501 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
