I logged into talk2boxes and found tcc_rot1 respond to Status updates. I logged into na2-rotator to reset the rotator and that solved the problem. We had nice, clear skies tonight with good seeing. All the photons! ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:46 kosmos 318( 1208) 121 73 10.4 11.6 11.4 10.9 10.7 — 1.12 19:32 kosmos 250( 1077) 24 54 10.0 10.1 10.5 9.7 10.1 — 1.16 00:06 ecamera 370( 160) -76 63 11.0 10.4 10.9 10.6 10.8 ND2 0.92 04:30 tcamera 415( 1399) -60 46 10.4 9.1 9.6 9.1 9.6 Ks 1.13 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 57 23 10 260 (W) 770 clear none 17:00 53 20 10 264 (W) 923 clear none 18:00 50 21 10 266 (W) 1015 clear none 19:00 50 23 11 262 (W) 945 clear none 20:00 51 23 15 265 (W) 880 clear none 21:00 51 24 13 264 (W) 900 clear none 22:00 51 24 14 268 (W) 920 clear none 23:00 52 24 18 290 (WNW) 746 clear none 00:00 52 23 15 282 (WNW) 664 clear none 01:00 51 24 18 295 (WNW) 710 clear none 02:00 50 24 14 281 (W) 681 clear none 03:00 48 22 12 335 (NNW) 657 clear none 04:00 51 22 20 313 (NW) 788 clear none 05:00 51 24 11 273 (W) 558 clear none 06:00 50 25 19 326 (NW) 516 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
