Kelly said that happened to her as well this past quarter but not tonight. Later she was having issues controlling KOSMOS with her TUI crashing and freezing her TUI during a readout. It was working fine earlier while doing cals. I had her close and restart TUI and if that didn't help to reboot her computer. Things seemed to be better after. No other problems the rest of the night. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:11 APOLLO 700( 2293) 249 22 13.3 14.4 14.5 14.0 13.2 -- 1.60 21:25 kosmos 575( 1262) 233 70 12.5 12.6 13.2 12.4 12.2 -- 0.97 01:18 kosmos 575( 1158) 107 71 10.4 10.4 11.1 10.3 10.3 -- 0.96 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 64 24 21 261 (W) 2190 clear none 17:00 63 21 18 262 (W) 2382 clear none 18:00 62 19 31 260 (W) 1552 clear none 19:00 60 18 27 270 (W) 1703 clear none 20:00 56 19 21 263 (W) 3115 clear none 21:00 55 20 21 264 (W) 2219 clear none 22:00 53 21 13 242 (WSW) 2066 clear none 23:00 53 22 16 251 (WSW) 2011 clear none 00:00 53 25 17 267 (W) 2034 clear none 01:00 51 28 16 262 (W) 2337 clear none 02:00 50 31 11 266 (W) 2545 clear none 03:00 50 31 13 258 (WSW) 2695 clear none 04:00 50 30 9 263 (W) 2580 clear none 05:00 49 30 10 261 (W) 2694 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
