She then changed the ALFA rotation angle. "Not tracking" error during TOGS, along with "WARNING: observing when not on source." Continued. WAPPs became confused during FITS#10. Upon restarting them, had a stream of errors. Was able to restart observing, but the chat window & some others at AO had frozen. Operator suggested we proceed since a restart on his end would take quite some time. - Using zenith strip observing mode - TOGS only run at the start - FAA Radar ON - Tiedowns disabled occasionally - All beams ok (update below at end of night) ------------------------------------------------------- http://www.naic.edu/~operator/oplogs/alfatemps/latest ALFA TEMPERATURES 16K = K1: 14.6 K2: 15.0 K3: 16.2 K4: 16.2 AT 17:50 70K = K1: 87.3 K2: 95.1 K3: 105.6 K4: 113.9 16K = K1: 14.6 K2: 15.0 K3: 16.2 K4: 16.2 AT 23:11 70K = K1: 87.8 K2: 95.4 K3: 106.1 K4: 114.7 =>temperatures of the 8 sensors within ALFA housing
