The 'Change set 2' drop down stayed pink, as if it had not completed the task. Clicking the 'Current' button made the drop down go blank, although there were the standard choices in the drop down itself. I was able to move the turret back to grating set 1/2 but the change turret 2 seems wonky. 'Change set 1' and 'mirrors' worked fine. I homed the turret, which worked fine, then tried to go to 'Change set 2' and again it stayed pink. The turret was in the correct position to change the gratings even though it didn't report this. Steve Majewski reported that his TUI, TUI 3.1.3 MacOS 10.14.6-x86-64-i386-64bit, was missing the text for the buttons in DISExpose window. He had outlines but no text. We gave up at 05:15 with complete cloud cover. No problems with the telescope 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:57 dcamera 570( 784) 134 46 -0.1 0.5 0.7 0.3 0.1 -- 1.43 19:42 dcamera 457( 638) -58 41 -0.3 -0.3 0.2 -0.3 -0.2 -- 1.22 00:15 dcamera 431( 608) 102 67 0.0 0.0 0.6 0.1 0.1 -- 1.60 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 33 9 17 301 (WNW) 154 clear none 17:00 32 8 14 314 (NW) 158 clear none 18:00 30 8 13 294 (WNW) 361 clear none 19:00 32 8 7 259 (W) 284 clear none 20:00 32 8 9 236 (SW) 410 clear none 21:00 33 9 10 269 (W) 264 clear none 22:00 34 11 10 260 (W) clear none 23:00 32 13 12 265 (W) clear none 00:00 32 12 11 232 (SW) clear none 01:00 32 13 14 224 (SW) mstly clr none 02:00 32 13 16 233 (SW) mstly cldy none 03:00 32 16 17 265 (W) cloudy none 04:00 31 15 17 263 (W) cloudy none 05:00 32 14 26 263 (W) cloudy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
