Checkout images looked fine. My 2nd observer slitview images would not update, just as they were starting. I had them restart TUI to fix the issue. They were running TUI 3.1.0 with MacOS 10.16. We have seen this problem before. Restarting TUI quickly fixed the issue. 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:44 kosmos 275( 929) -110 62 5.5 6.4 6.5 5.9 5.5 -- 0.72 19:27 kosmos 375( 992) 97 34 5.4 5.2 5.9 5.0 5.3 -- 0.77 20:41 khigh 375( 953) 87 50 5.2 4.7 5.4 4.5 4.8 -- 0.94 22:33 kosmos 325( 876) 34 52 4.8 4.1 4.9 4.0 4.4 -- 1.10 00:22 tcamera 359( 1080) 93 62 3.9 3.6 4.3 3.5 3.7 Ks 1.01 02:09 ecamera 427( -93) -142 60 4.3 3.8 4.4 4.0 4.0 Clear 1.10 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 46 18 14 207 (SSW) 900 mstly clr none 17:00 42 18 14 202 (SSW) 736 mstly clr none 18:00 43 17 11 194 (SSW) 795 mstly clr none 19:00 43 16 16 199 (SSW) 766 mstly clr none 20:00 42 18 6 182 (S) 806 mstly clr none 21:00 40 20 12 195 (SSW) 881 mstly clr none 22:00 41 21 12 205 (SSW) 892 clear none 23:00 41 21 12 211 (SSW) 920 clear none 00:00 39 22 14 207 (SSW) 837 clear none 01:00 41 21 15 234 (SW) 874 clear none 02:00 40 21 17 243 (WSW) 915 clear none 03:00 41 17 15 262 (W) 1243 clear none 04:00 42 15 14 272 (W) 1062 ptly cldy none 05:00 42 14 13 259 (W) 1032 ptly cldy none 06:00 41 15 16 263 (W) 1057 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
