I don't see any mirror oscillation messages in the GUI either. ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Thu Dec 22 23:17:43 GMT 2005 All the CaK images look out of focus, the CaK narrow images and the CaK shifted images look like they are focused well though. ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Thu Dec 22 23:23:31 GMT 2005 Blue images look overexposed, can't tell what the Red images look like right now due to clouds. ___end___ Thu Dec 22 23:41:15 GMT 2005 MKIV Start Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Thu Dec 22 23:53:24 GMT 2005 Red images look blurry too. To summarize, the Blue images look overexposed and the CaK and Red images look blurry. I don't understand why 2 out of 3 CaK filtered images (narrow and shifted filters) look sharp but the regular CaK images look blurry since they all use the same focus setting as far as I can tell. I'll paused obs and look at the filters. -Darryl ___end___ Fri Dec 23 00:00:00 GMT 2005 MKIV End Patrol Fri Dec 23 00:02:54 GMT 2005 CHIP End Patrol Fri Dec 23 00:03:15 GMT 2005 PICS End Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Dec 23 00:03:42 GMT 2005 Orographic clouds are becoming dense, instruments idled. ___end___ Fri Dec 23 00:24:03 GMT 2005 MKIV Start Patrol Fri Dec 23 00:24:22 GMT 2005 CHIP Start Patrol Fri Dec 23 00:25:39 GMT 2005 PICS Start Patrol **PSPT PROBLEM**: Fri Dec 23 00:23:14 GMT 2005 Found and fixed the problem. The Filter wheel was pointing to the wrong position for each image, "homing" the filter wheel was the cure. Not sure how it lost it's positions, but it was interesting how it would still end up with a filter in place for each image and how 2 of the images were well illuminated and in focus. -Darryl ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Dec 23 00:26:18 GMT 2005 Clouds have cleared, instruments restarted. ___end___ Fri Dec 23 00:36:04 GMT 2005 MKIV End Patrol Fri Dec 23 00:51:27 GMT 2005 PICS End Patrol Fri Dec 23 00:51:48 GMT 2005 CHIP End Patrol WEATHER COMMENT: Fri Dec 23 00:55:12 GMT 2005 Clouds are dense, instruments idled. ___end___ NICE CHIP IMAGE: 2021 NICE PICSLIMB IMAGE: 2023 NICE PICSDISC IMAGE: 2022 NICE MK4 IMAGE: 2024 Fri Dec 23 01:01:23 GMT 2005 MkIV 00_24.rawmk4 18_02.rawmk4 20_37.rawmk4 21_25.rawmk4 22_06.rawmk4 00_27.rawmk4 18_05.rawmk4 20_43.rawmk4 21_28.rawmk4 22_09.rawmk4 00_29.rawmk4 19_58.rawmk4 20_49.rawmk4 21_31.rawmk4 22_12.rawmk4 00_32.rawmk4 20_01.rawmk4 20_52.rawmk4 21_34.rawmk4 22_15.rawmk4 17_33.rawmk4 20_04.rawmk4 20_55.rawmk4 21_37.rawmk4 22_18.rawmk4 17_36.rawmk4 20_07.rawmk4 20_58.rawmk4 21_39.rawmk4 23_41.rawmk4 17_39.rawmk4 20_10.rawmk4 21_01.rawmk4 21_42.rawmk4 23_47.rawmk4 17_42.rawmk4 20_13.rawmk4 21_04.rawmk4 21_45.rawmk4 23_50.rawmk4 17_45.rawmk4 20_16.rawmk4 21_07.rawmk4 21_48.rawmk4 23_53.rawmk4 17_47.rawmk4 20_18.rawmk4 21_10.rawmk4 21_51.rawmk4 23_56.rawmk4 17_50.rawmk4 20_21.rawmk4 21_13.rawmk4 21_54.rawmk4 c20_34.rawmk4 17_53.rawmk4 20_24.rawmk4 21_16.rawmk4 21_57.rawmk4 c20_40.rawmk4 17_56.rawmk4 20_27.rawmk4 21_19.rawmk4 22_00.rawmk4 c20_46.rawmk4 17_59.rawmk4 20_30.rawmk4 21_22.rawmk4 22_03.rawmk4
