John--Looking back at some logs, there are a couple of other situations that may be worth looking at:
1. Meridian flip caused continued waiting after a very cloudy condition was encountered. I would expect the merdian flip wait to be trumped by the v.c. condition. Also you will see the same "post close" problems as in my previous post: 05:14:02 Dither: -1.5, -2.6, 05:14:10 Guider running 05:14:16 Guide Error X: 1.2, Y: 3.7 05:14:22 Guide Error X: 0.7, Y: 2.3 05:14:29 Guide Error X: 0.1, Y: 0.2 05:14:29 Altitude: 48 deg. 05:14:29 Exposing... 05:23:01 Pause after the current exposure for clouds...

This other problem I cannot find a log for. But the conditions were the same. I tested and forced a very cloudy situation while darks were being taken during a CCDAP run. The run terminated as expected, but the roof close was not issued as part of the abort. Do you see this second problem in the code anywhere? |
