SYNOPSIS FOR NIGHT: =================== Bad weather kept the telescope in the enclosure. A few tests were run from the shakedown list. TELESCOPE STATUS: ================= At stow, 30deg ALT, with engineering camera on. Hartmann screens are in, conical baffle is out. DIMM: ----- INTERLOCKS: =========== None bypassed. SOFTWARE USED: ============== IOP/SOP: v3_16_2 Watcher: v2_8_2 MCP: v4_2_4 TPM: v1_0_8 AstroDa: 14_29 TCC: 2.3.1 WEATHER SYNOPSIS (see below for hourly data): ============================================= Cloudy with thundershowers in the P.M. Cloudy to mostly cloudy for the remainder of the night. Occasional short-lived sucker holes. High humidity at times. GENERAL COMMENTS (see Problems below for details): ================================================== The first shift went through the afternoon checkout. Due to a problem transferring the night log from the first shift to the second, a follow-up report on the problems the first shift encountered will have to be filed later. They did have a problem communicating with the spectrographs when a SOP window crashed, and had problems with id-2 (I think) during checkout. Ellyne also worked on HTML procedure pages. Many spectro biases were taken to look for missing pixels. We cut version 4_3_1 of the MCP. We then rebooted the MCP. A soft boot did not work, and it was necessary to go down and do a hard boot. We looked at possible stripes and starting lambdas that would give high rotator rates. We can get extreme with the following: astls> stripeAxis 37 06:00 -mjd 51718 -startLambda 50 Min/Max Rates: Altitude -15.0 --> 14.2 (arcsec/tsec) Azimuth 4.8 --> 2865.8 Rotator 12.0 --> 2874.0 Or try something less extreme e.g.: astls> stripeAxis 37 06:00 -mjd 51718 -startLambda 20 Min/Max Rates: Altitude -10.2 --> 9.6 (arcsec/tsec) Azimuth 7.3 --> 34.8 Rotator 19.2 --> 41.9 which takes the rotator past 1.5 times sidereal, but is not so radical...or we can do anything in between. These were calculated for MJD 51718 at UT 06:00. Your thoughts on what rates are desired would be appreciated. We checked the balance for the telescope's current configuration (engineering camera, Hartmann screen, no conical baffle and no second corrector). A good balance appears to be 150 on the counterweights. The counterweight table has been modified to include this configuration. A test for PR 97 was made. The imager is currently in the doghouse. With the doghhouse door closed and the building lights on, a drift was begun with the shutters open. No errors were noted. I then went to the enclosure and opened the doghouse door. I left the white translucent cover on the imager and shone a small flashlight into the doghouse. When I got back to my watcher session I saw that it had indeed reported many WRONG num of pix messages at the time I opened the doghouse door. The messages are appended to the log in the Problems section. This PR is not resolved. It was edited from "needs feedback" to "open".
