Cornstellation Log Entry 8/1-8/5, 2019

Observation Issues: 

• Loki was turned off when we arrived so we had to restart everything but had some issues and didn’t press “load zenith coordinates”- due to this, the telescope moved in a completely different direction while skewing and the cap fell off and alarm went off. After a while, we called Oliver and were able to fix it then realized the xbox controller wasn’t working either but with a quick plug-in and plug-out, it was fixed and we were back in business. 

• EVORA crashed a couple times throughout this trip but we were like no biggie

  • On the last night, at about 1 am, the filter wheel seemed to have crashed since it could no longer home. We ended up just restarting the filter wheel with these steps: 

  • ssh telescopepi.mro.cwu.edu

  • $ screen -r

  • You should see the FilterServer. If it's crashed, use Ctrl-c to kill it.

  • Re-start the filter server, './FilterServer' 

Other Issues

• None! :)
