A New Problem
Saturday Mike and Dan were here working on the new telescopes. When I went
to run Saturday night, TOM2 was broken. So no TOM2 data (Sorry, Mike)
Saturday night. Sunday I took TOM2 apart and fussed. Finally I realized
it was missing pulses.
Mike and Dan like to open the dome for ventilation. This puts TOM2 and
TOM3 in full sunlight. Since I don't have covers on them because the
clearance is so tight in the dome, the PROMS were exposed to full sunlight.
Apparently this erased one of them. I have tape over the windows, but just
tape. I will now have foil.
The longer one runs, the more failure modes are uncovered.
