Science.
---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===---
20:50 Doors open, fans on
21:00 Enclosure off
04:40 Enclosure on, doors closed, fans off
The night was lost to clouds and problems with the spectrographs.
---=== OBSERVING LOG ===---
At mid-afternoon, output from the 0.3u dust counter on the met tower was
stuck at 999999, but later showed ~170000 and seemed to be working.  The
1.0u counter seems to be working ok throughout.  Mark Klaene is waiting on
decent weather to install the recalibrated replacement unit.
The IOP servers were restarted with v3_53_6 (test version), and
cleanupMurmur -killProcesses done (the option, lists the processes using
the old murmur log file to kill.  It works, but the su command displayed
should have single quotes round the 'kill' command, not double quotes).
On logging in to the tcc and starting telrun, it ran but did not show any
activity.  Craig advised to issue telstop, then telrun commands in the
tcc.  That fixed it.
We removed the enclosure before twilight ended but clouds kept us from
attempting anything until after midnight.
We again saw the following tcc error:
0 12 W Text="failed to adjust collimation and focus; new focus
and/or scale recorded but not successfully applied"
However, the focus seemed to be working properly so perhaps this
is just a false alarm caused by the "one or more axes did not end
on a full step" problem.
Just like last night, as we were about to do a preCalib, pgplot grabbed
the udp port 30410 and we saw
