Recent PROMPT 5 Issues

Filed under: Malfunction: hardware, PROMPT-Related, Telescope & Camera Status — mrbook2 @ 6:33 pm

We recently noticed that PROMPT 5 is having a problem with its filter wheel. Until we get it all sorted out, please be very skeptical of what fitler is used on P5. Right now, we think that the wheel is stuck and is not changing filter properly, so the filter recorded in the header may be incorrect.

  1. The filter wheel is back up and functioning. It was apparently stuck in the “B” position for a while. We’re not sure exactly how long it’s been stuck like this, although we only first noticed it the other day. So, just be skeptical, and resubmit jobs if you have to.
