Rain and clouds to start the night but they disappeared throughout twilight so opened soon thereafter. Humidity steadily rose until forcing closure around 2300. Wasn't able to open again due to the humidity lingering. Arcsat had issues. Started with library support error. After restarting software, no commands issued through the web interface would register. Messages popped up saying scripts were successful, but no frames were taken and no text in the log. ACP was able to run scripts through the program itself, and running this way populated the log with text and produced images, it's just the commands run through the web interface that failed. This includes trying to use the web interface through localhost on arcsat-user. ------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 21:38 klow 555( 1411) 214 79 13.3 16.1 15.9 15.6 14.0 -- 1.68 ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------ 16:00 61 30 4 187 (S) cloudy none 17:00 62 31 12 84 (E) cloudy none 18:00 61 31 7 64 (ENE) cloudy none 19:00 60 31 13 89 (E) cloudy none 20:00 60 31 19 74 (ENE) cloudy none 21:00 57 30 13 73 (ENE) mstly clr none 22:00 56 30 18 78 (ENE) clear none 23:00 56 29 17 47 (NE) clear none 00:00 55 28 18 73 (ENE) mstly clr humid 01:00 54 28 18 72 (ENE) mstly clr humid 02:00 55 29 15 71 (ENE) mstly clr humid 03:00 53 29 18 70 (ENE) mstly clr humid 04:00 52 28 14 80 (E) mstly clr humid 05:00 52 28 18 75 (ENE) mstly clr humid Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
