It ready 92% all night even though the other sensors went down to 11%. TUI disconnected on ObsA for some odd reason. I wasn't doing anything. My remote observer saw no issues. 2023-10-30 23:54:11 .tui 0 tui Text='No data seen in 60.0 seconds; testing the connection' 2023-10-30 23:54:17 APO.Jack-ObsA 77 KeyDispatcher f Timeout; Actor='hub'; Cmd='version' 2023-10-30 23:54:17 .tui 0 tui Failing; Text='Connection is dead' 2023-10-30 23:54:18 .tui 0 tui Failed; Text='Connection is dead' When I went to focus the Echelle for the 2nd half my slitviewer image wasn't updating (ObsA). I had to log out of TUI and quit, then log back in. I got kicked off TUI (ObsA) again. 2023-10-31 08:03:03 APO.Jack-ObsA 22 KeyDispatcher f Timeout; Actor='hub'; Cmd='version' 2023-10-31 08:03:03 .tui 0 tui Failing; Text='Connection is dead' 2023-10-31 08:03:03 .tui 0 tui Failed; Text='Connection is dead' 2023-10-31 08:03:03 CmdStarted: .tcc 0 tcc Apparently at the end of the night my Echelle Slitviewewr image got stuck again, it was not updating the image number and I could not go back to view previous images. It was telling me the guiding status correctly, just not displaying the updated image. Same issue as I had earlier. It was too late in the night to restart my TUI as we were almost ready to shut down for the night. No telescope 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 18:37 ecamera 370( -186) 87 68 1.9 3.1 3.1 2.8 2.2 clear 0.82 01:16 ecamera 362( -335) 140 58 0.7 0.0 0.7 0.1 0.6 clear 1.32 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 39 22 5 256 (WSW) 984 clear none 17:00 37 22 1 235 (SW) 1016 clear none 18:00 36 20 7 3 (N) 858 clear none 19:00 35 19 3 355 (N) 889 clear none 20:00 33 20 11 19 (NNE) 1034 clear none 21:00 33 14 15 25 (NNE) 1168 clear none 22:00 32 6 12 26 (NNE) 1106 clear none 23:00 35 -16 13 55 (NE) 1275 clear none 00:00 34 -18 16 55 (NE) 1572 clear none 01:00 33 -19 16 69 (ENE) 1272 clear none 02:00 33 -20 15 80 (E) 906 clear none 03:00 31 -13 20 56 (NE) 802 clear none 04:00 32 -19 27 69 (ENE) 467 clear none 05:00 30 -18 31 68 (ENE) 411 clear none 06:00 29 -6 28 68 (ENE) 418 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
