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.
