                 Apache Point Observatory SDSS 2.5m
                            Observing Log
                             (MJD 51728)
OBSERVING TEAM:

Ellyne Kinney (APO)
Atsuko Nitta Kleinman (APO)
Scot Kleinman (APO)
Eric "Birthday Boy" Neilsen (House of Thirty) PT
VISITORS:
=========
Elizabeth Hayes (HCPSD)
Patrick Hayes (HCPSD)
THE PLAN:
=========
Focal plane mapping if the weather cooperates.
Science if the weather cooperates squared.
SYNOPSIS FOR NIGHT:
===================
The weather did not cooperate.  Storms around us at the beginning of the
night which went away and left us with cloud coverage that blocked between
50-80% of the light throughout the night. Sigh.
No progress with the calibration system investigation.
TELESCOPE STATUS:
=================
Telescope at stow, 30degrees altitude, cartridge 7 installed.
A/C system off as instructed by French.
DIMM:
-----
INTERLOCKS:
===========
The 3 rail E-stops remain bypassed.
SOFTWARE USED:

Watcher: v2_8_2
MCP: v4_3_1
TPM: v1_2_1
AstroDa: 14_29
