All Marvels, all the time (since Segue was out of the question due to cameras) ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- SPECTROGRAPH STILL NOT WORKING!!! Called on Jon to help but he couldn't get them working again. He suspects it's a problem with Da. Night was all MARVELS all the time night. Sky was clear at the beginning, wind caused bad seeing. Night got cloudy with low humidity not long after. Clouds only stayed for a few hours, and then cleared up. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- imager bias ok ntp_check ok iccSoundOff ok sectro bias: problems it cannot connect to spectrographs. cc ping works, mechanics is alive. power supply blocks are both OK on telescope. "line" on sp2's crate is off, may be a result of the power supply replacement (after this morning's problems). Spectro crates are rebooted. daqBusy error again. daqBusy=1: sp1 is/are busy after 80 seconds Complained to Jon Brinkmann--cold reboot of the spectral crate didn't help.
