06/01/2021 | Michael Fauerbach | FGCU | NA | CCD | 7 | 4 | Equipment Failure | As mantioned in my email to sara-tech, the whole telescope computerACE crashed after a CCD abort. After recovering, the Default DEC Encoder fault kept flashing. Tried to reboot computer etc but nothing got rid of it. I was able to park, close the covers and close the dome shutters -at least it said it did. I have not seen this error before, and I was not able to recover from it. |
