A kosmos Status all fixed the issue. I had a internet connection problem with ObsA, it only seemed to affect that machine and I could log in with my laptop. I turned off the wifi on ObsA and then things connected to the internet properly again. Currently the wifi is set off on ObsA. We went back to Mountain Standard time tonight, hence the funny time accounting the nightlog focus script timed out on me (Both MST and MDT) after 01:00. Not sure why, this was before we changed out clock back 1hr at 02:00. I manually entered the focus informaiton. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19:03 klow 329( 1112) 78 76 6.2 9.2 9.3 9.1 7.3 -- 1.16 19:58 klow 379( 1065) 117 54 6.2 7.0 7.8 6.6 6.1 -- 1.70 22:57 klow 454( 1064) 181 81 6.3 5.7 6.4 5.7 5.8 -- 0.95 01:27 kosmos 304( ) 143 62 5.0 4.5 5.3 4.4 4.4 -- 0.95 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 51 30 15 222 (SW) 1076 clear none 17:00 50 27 18 219 (SW) 1020 clear none 18:00 47 21 25 226 (SW) 881 clear none 19:00 45 19 26 217 (SW) 933 clear none 20:00 44 18 27 237 (WSW) 1342 clear none 21:00 44 18 16 226 (SW) 2036 clear none 22:00 44 17 20 216 (SW) 2452 clear none 23:00 44 17 17 219 (SW) 2514 clear none 00:00 42 18 19 252 (WSW) 1529 clear none 01:00 42 19 19 239 (WSW) 854 mstly clr none 01:00 40 20 15 253 (WSW) 830 ptly cldy none 02:00 39 20 17 246 (WSW) 980 ptly cldy none 03:00 39 21 16 266 (W) 948 ptly cldy none 04:00 38 24 15 267 (W) 1123 cloudy none 05:00 38 25 21 271 (W) 1140 ptly cldy none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
