DATAQ freezing up again, had to power cycle dataq on hub35m to restart it. The IRSC webspage was loading a blank page and Shane cleared up space on that disk, which fixed the problem (thank you!). ARCSAT had another Library Support error and I had to reboot the arcsat-user computer to fix it because the software wasn't closing cleanly. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 17:43 arctic 250( 1194) 14 46 8.7 11.3 11.1 11.9 9.0 SDSS_r 1.64 00:18 arctic 267( 1025) 123 71 10.5 7.7 8.4 7.5 8.6 BG40 1.01 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 52 1 1 286 (WNW) 489 clear none 17:00 51 -1 9 339 (NNW) 256 clear none 18:00 47 -4 9 353 (N) 225 clear none 19:00 49 -3 4 25 (NNE) 190 clear none 20:00 48 -4 6 352 (N) 169 clear none 21:00 49 -2 5 16 (NNE) 197 clear none 22:00 48 -4 6 351 (N) 262 clear none 23:00 50 -1 7 351 (N) 312 clear none 00:00 48 -2 8 342 (NNW) 366 clear none 01:00 50 -1 8 309 (NW) 328 clear none 02:00 50 -2 7 288 (WNW) 325 clear none 03:00 49 -3 8 278 (W) 350 clear none 04:00 46 -5 11 302 (WNW) 422 clear none 05:00 45 -4 16 309 (NW) 538 clear none 06:00 46 -2 13 306 (NW) 562 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
