2.5m Night Log for 29 Apr 1999
At 3pm the telescope was closed up due to high wind gusts.  This prevented
French from installing the corrector and the engineering camera.  It was
decided that French would call back later in the evening to see if
conditions improved.  French called about 9 pm local time to inquire of
the weather conditions, as he wanted to come back and install the corrector.
Wind, dew point depression, and dust combined to make this impossible.
As this is a new configuration of instrumentation, we decided to
defer until French could make a proper installation.  We decided to
call it a night at 10 pm
On a more positive note, before sundown, we did check out the new limits
for the stow AZ interlocks in the building.  These seem to work well, and the
installation should be completed by early next week.  The tests were done
by Glenn, Carlos, French and Jeffrey.
