Completed a spectro bias loop and a set of dithered flats. Added signal to the following: Cart 03, plate 3313 (DONE) Cart 01, plate 3467 (DONE) Cart 05, plate 3480 (DONE) Cart 06, plate 3141 Closed a few minutes early because of clouds and radar returns. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- 18:30Z Completed a spectro bias loop and a set of dithered flats with cart 05 mounted; images looked good. The apo_plotbias results were put in blue book. bias exposures = 61714 to 61738 dithered flat exposures = 61743 to 61759 23:00Z Restarted the servers. 23:17Z [hjbrew@sdsshost2 notes]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 119G 16G 89% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 768G 103G 89% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.5T 606G 787G 44% /files 23:31Z Spectro focus was checked but not adjusted.
