Cart. 8, 3076, oct08a ********************* Field A ------- 01:39Z - gotoField. After the gflat, guider images were not displayed. TCC reported `gcam doread' for the GCamCmd with all of the normal values, but after the exposure time concluded, we'd get `Text="doread failed"' and SAOimage would not update. I issued a tccClose, quit SAOimage, and restarted my SOP session and things worked fine again. Interestingly, even though guider images were displayed in SAOimage, the "doread failed" was still shown in TCC. Perhaps this is a normal feature that I just didn't recognize before. 01:55Z - Science. 50 min. 02:48Z - MARVELS cal. Field B ------- 02:59Z - gotoField. Guide stars found on gotoField.
