The ARCSAT observer reported an "failed to initialize the support library" error at 21:40. ''' Logging to C:\Users\Public\Documents\ACP Web Data\Doc Root\logs\AS07\20210409\20210410@033621.log Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1 Telescope is ACP->MaxPoint-ASCOM Remote Client 1 REMOTE DRIVER: TCS772.DFM.ASCOM.Telescope, driver V3 Dome is MaxDome *1* *2* *3* *4* *5* There was a problem initializing the support library: ''' I attempted to take an exposure manually in Maxim and confirmed that it was not responding. The fix was to restart ACP and Maxim. The script the user was running also hung shortly before sunrise, at which point we just closed up. Otherwise, the night was uneventful, clear, and productive. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:59 dcamera 523( 802) 55 60 9.6 10.8 10.6 10.4 9.5 -- 1.45 21:31 dcamera 460( 680) -60 56 9.8 9.5 9.9 9.2 9.6 -- 1.24 23:29 dcamera 522( 727) -51 64 9.4 9.3 9.9 9.4 9.5 -- 1.01 01:21 ecamera 354( -390) 204 50 9.5 8.5 9.0 8.1 8.9 ND1 1.07 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 50 3 2 293 (WNW) 1402 clear none 17:00 51 4 15 311 (NW) 1196 clear none 18:00 52 6 12 308 (NW) 1500 clear none 19:00 50 5 6 332 (NNW) 1408 clear none 20:00 49 4 4 330 (NNW) 1317 clear none 21:00 49 5 6 269 (W) 1354 clear none 22:00 50 5 9 259 (W) 1352 clear none 23:00 49 5 7 264 (W) 1391 clear none 00:00 49 4 4 256 (WSW) 1404 clear none 01:00 47 2 1 234 (SW) 1530 clear none 02:00 46 1 5 7 (N) 1295 clear none 03:00 45 -1 8 339 (NNW) 1142 clear none 04:00 47 1 6 352 (N) 1228 clear none 05:00 46 1 10 349 (N) 1177 clear none 06:00 44 -1 2 235 (SW) 1323 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
