TMO Error Log Tracking

Date	Time	Error	Reason?	Solution
June 23rd, 2023	7:40pm	Zach found the telescope trapped in its limits!	During checks before SSP, Zach found the telesope pointed west and trapped in the limits. Motors were “in blinky mode!” When ACP connects to the telescope, tracking is started. It is likely that when Zach was doing morning checks, they forgot to park it.	Zach recovered it from the limit (This is something only Jon and Zach should do! As doing it incorrectly can cause damage).
June 26th, 2023	Reported at ~6:30pm by Jon	Dome motor appeared to have stalled during a move last night, was showing as slewing (it wasn't) and when I clicked “stop motion”, ACP threw an error and crashed.	Dome moter appeared to stall at one point in the night.	From Jon, “When I restarted and parked it moved fine,”
June 26th, 2023	~9:30pm	Telescope pointed at dome	Occasionally the telescope and dome can get off centered from each other, such that the telescope is pointing at the inside of the dome, and the slit is no longer tracking the telescope. This can happen if multiple interfaces (MaximDL, ACP, etc) are used to slew the scope and dome.	Zach was able to recover by 'resetting' everything to the 'start' position. Park the scope, park the dome, etc.
July 1st, 2023	~10:00pm	Shutter Error	Occasionally the dome will lose connection to the sensors, if this happens a shutter error will prompt an Error. This will effectively stop the dome for safety	The on-duty SSP TA informed Adam of an error, who called Zach. Zach found the dome closed with “Shutter Error.” Despite the dome being closed, ACP thought it was opened. Zach queued the dome to close (ACP prompted a message asking if I really wanted to do this since there was an error being prompted.) Clicked “yes.” Once that was done and ACP realized the slit was closed. Zach parked the scope. I then opened it and then made sure it went back to it's home position.
July 8th, 2023	~11:00pm	“The remote server machine does not exists or is unaviabile” In ACP it was mentioning, “could not find remote server” when trying to run a .vbs script	Unknown as of right now…	CLosed all the programs and reopened them.
July 16h, 2023	~7:00pm	ACP prompted the error, “Run-time error '6': Overflow”	Unknown, cache overflow…?	Clicking “ok” closed out ACP. Relaunched ACP. Was able to connect telescope and camera.
July 18th, 2023	~1:30am	Joel reported that the dome was having issue (but they were able to get the dome to close). When Zach logged in and tried to move the dome, ACP prompted a dome error and “motor stalled”, which crashed ACP. Similar to June 26th.	Unknown? Related to issues with how dome is power (loses connection in certain spots?)	Close out all the applications and restart everything. Then 'home'd the dome then was able to get it back to it's parked position.

On Going Issues / Persistent Issues

Splotch of Light Present in Images - SSP TAs and Adam have noted occasionally a splotch of light is apparent on the CCD images. This appears to be intermittent. We've gotten word from KWRG that the external lights on the tower are off. One of the SSP TAs indicated that when the IR lamp was off, the splotch was not present. Adam and TAs are going to do more testing to check to see if the IR Lamp does bleed into the SR band.
