RA was de-clutched and then re-running startup fixed the problem. ___end___ NOTE BY BEN: Mon Oct 1 23:25:08 GMT 2012 Sky transmission value is -168. I dont remember ever seeing it below zero typically it bottoms out at 0018 ___end___ NOTE BY BEN: Tue Oct 2 01:02:27 GMT 2012 I couldn't find the schematic for the guider; but I probed around the guider rack. I think the big lambda power supply is ok but the little one might be bad. I also expected to see a higher voltage coming off the (physically) big transformer on the controller rack. ___end___ Tue Oct 2 01:09:42 GMT 2012: PSPT Abort Patrol Tue Oct 2 01:09:53 GMT 2012: PSPT Abort Patrol Tue Oct 2 01:19:54 GMT 2012 MkIV 18_09.rawmk4 18_22.rawmk4 c18_12.rawmk4 18_16.rawmk4 c18_05.rawmk4 c18_19.rawmk4
