THE PLAN:
=========
Shakeup?  Calibrations? Science?
SYNOPSIS FOR NIGHT:
===================
We were unable to complete the calibrations due to needing a
certified crane-operator to open the penthouse up and attempt to fix
the known problems there. Our next opportunity will be Wednesday
morning, so we are swapping tonight's shift with one on Wednesday
morning/afternoon/night to (hopefully and finally) get the needed
calibration data.
No data tonight.
The downstairs imager ln2 pressure dewar needs to be swapped out, but we
could not do it. Day staff - please see the LN2 section below.
TELESCOPE STATUS:
=================
Telescope at stow, 30degrees altitude, cartridge 7 installed.
A/C system on.

LN2 SCHEDULE:
=============
Spectrographs filled at 17:00 and 02:15.
Imager dewar swapped at 02:30 with a weight of ~240lb (the previous dewar
had about 80lb left).
The lower level imager nitrogen pressure dewar appears empty, but we
apparently do not know the trick to getting the gauges/plumbing off as
they would not come off with a more than moderate amount of force
applied to the locking nut. Could the day staff please check into
this?
