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! :)
