At the end of my test slews, the NA2 rotator halted while rotating from +27 to -30. It rotated fine from 0 to -45, -45 to +45, and then from +45 to +27. I power cycled the drives and it rotated fine to -30. We closed due to humidity at 00:20. The humidity never dropped for the rest of the night. No telescope problems. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 22:20 arctic 417( 925) -4 75 10.0 9.9 10.4 9.9 8.0 SDSS_r 1.55 22:22 NA2gdr -166(35833) -5 75 10.0 9.8 10.3 9.7 7.9 Clear 1.51 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 1 233 (SW) 1625 mstly cldy none 17:00 4 251 (WSW) 1104 mstly cldy lt rain 18:00 12 73 (ENE) 775 mstly cldy none 19:00 19 74 (ENE) 670 mstly cldy none 20:00 14 61 (ENE) 570 mstly cldy none 21:00 17 67 (ENE) 432 ptly cldy none 22:00 22 68 (ENE) 326 mstly clr none 23:00 21 74 (ENE) mstly clr humid 00:00 26 77 (ENE) mstly clr humid 01:00 15 79 (E) ptly cldy humid 02:00 16 74 (ENE) ptly cldy humid 03:00 21 75 (ENE) ptly cldy humid 04:00 14 72 (ENE) ptly cldy humid 05:00 14 76 (ENE) cloudy humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
