Line 1: Line 1:
 +====== Sunday 5th April 16:00 CEST ======
 +  * second GRB observation - 090404 - this time first image (off position) at 6 seconds past GRB, first on position at 182 sec post GRB. This time without detection.
 +
 +====== Thursday 26th March 13:30 CET ======
 +  * modelling is working - the telescope is autonomously building new model
 +
 +====== Wednesday 25th March 22:00 NZDT ======
 +  * discovered problems with focusing - it does not hold on place due to bigger then expected weight of camera-filter wheel stack
 +  * continued autonomous operations without any problem
 +  * changed storage path for all-sky images
 +
 +====== Tuesday 24th March 08:00 NZDT ======
 +  * first fully autonomous night without any presence runs as expected
 +  * problems with modelling due to wrong focus of the camera
 +
 +====== Monday 16th March 12:00 NZDT ======
 +  * roof fixed (washers put back to expected position), UPS closing tests with telescope running performed - see [[htpp://rts2.org/b3.avi|this video]].
 +  * Petr left Blenheim
 +
 +====== Sunday 15th March 22:00 NZDT ======
 +  * make better focusing interface
 +  * telescope was focused at evening through open half of the roof
 +  * roof software was updated, error from Saturday fixed
 +
 +====== Saturday 14th March 17:00 NZDT ======
 +  * roof stress tests showed weak point - wrong opening sequence can be achieved in some extreme circumstances. There is small damage on right half. We expect Cuddons will come on Monday, asset damage and put it back in shape.
 +  * we were able to close roof using some minor aid. Chain on sprocket wheels sometimes jump during closing.
 +  * preliminary observations showed no structure damage - washers holding transmission bearings were responsible for loosing energy accumulated in mechanism, and they are free a bit.
 +
 +====== Thursday 12th March 23:20 NZDT ======
 +  * tested UPS closing - works as expected, but still I would like to test it with telescope moving
 +  * first truly remote opening - all looks good
 +  * tidy up cables
 +  * bought relay for Apogee remote control and 3 way switch (full manual, manual, automatic)
 +
 +====== Thursday 12th March 01:00 NZDT ======
 +  * more cabling tidying - cables put to rack, rack fixed,..
 +  * soldered cable for cloud sensor - that takes at least 3 hours
 +  * Zelio upgrade tested and works as expected
 +  * after some showers it was finally clear during night, telescope works now in fully autonomous mode
 +  * UPS is able to handle operation of both halves of the roof with significant margin - that is better as expected
 +
 ====== Wednesday 11th March 01:00 NZDT ====== ====== Wednesday 11th March 01:00 NZDT ======
   * roof opens and closes both halves simultaneously - with a small glitch, but this is already fixed and will be hopefully fully tested tomorrow   * roof opens and closes both halves simultaneously - with a small glitch, but this is already fixed and will be hopefully fully tested tomorrow
