Continue to work new guider software/hardware. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Auto filling problems (a copy of dewar plot was put in Dan's mailbox) and SP1LN2Empty : see log. Imager camera serial line problem :see 'problems' Made more progress on the guider code, now have cartridge 1 marvels pre plate showing coherent star motions with offsets and rotations. Unfortunately cloud prevented final verification of guider correction signs on alt and az. Tried desperately when reopened while sun rose to get all to work on cartridge 11. Harding will stay 2 more nights to continue work on guider code. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All checking was done. Does not worked in autofill mode 'Stop filling' for the Spectro 1. I stoped it manually. -- When I started afternoon preparation was warning 'SP1LN2Empty'. So I checked the status of SP1 - the temperatures was good. Then I checked on telescope - the pressure of SP1LN2 was more than 10 psi. Both camera was filled. One of the valve on spectro 180lb dewar bleed pressure. After the afternoon preparation I connected the 180ln spectro dewar. Again started filling and lasted approximately 40 min. Well as the beginning, I stopped filling SP1 manually. Night: ------ 00:50Z - opened doors, louvers, started ventilations. 02:04Z - enclosure off we mounted cart. 12 (BOSS) and then cart.1 (MARVELS). 07:30Z - enclosure on, closed doors, louvers, stop ventilations. 11:00Z - enclosure off mounted Cart. 11, Plate 3523 (BOSS) 12:12Z - enclosure on, etc. 12:15Z endNight finished ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8016 00:04Z 00:49Z 100 O 49.46 60.87 90 ignore 8017 08:55Z 09:10Z 100 O -177.42 -173.52 40 ignore ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:04Z 66 41 7 190 (S) 984 - 22:36Z 67 40 12 219 (SW) 1082 - 23:08Z 62 37 18 60 (ENE) 687 - 23:40Z 60 34 13 76 (ENE) 580 - 00:12Z 64 36 4 246 (WSW) 690 - 00:44Z 63 38 3 221 (SW) 712 - 01:17Z 60 37 8 196 (SSW) 781 - 01:49Z 59 35 11 182 (S) 642 - 02:21Z 58 38 6 184 (S) 964 - 02:53Z 58 39 14 176 (S) 1065 - 03:25Z 58 38 16 159 (SSE) 1090 - 03:57Z 57 38 20 158 (SSE) 1092 - 04:30Z 56 39 17 152 (SSE) 1122 - 05:02Z 56 39 16 158 (SSE) 1112 - 05:34Z 55 39 20 158 (SSE) 1093 - 06:06Z 55 39 16 150 (SSE) 1177 - 06:38Z 54 39 22 138 (SE) 1176 - 07:10Z 53 39 22 145 (SE) 1253 - 07:42Z 53 39 22 127 (SE) 1211 - 08:15Z 53 39 25 126 (SE) 1223 - 08:48Z 52 40 14 84 (E) 1143 - 09:09Z 48 43 16 78 (ENE) 1194 - 09:43Z 46 44 14 88 (E) 1212 - 10:15Z 49 41 17 125 (SE) 1161 - 10:47Z 52 38 11 148 (SSE) 1044 - 11:19Z 52 37 8 179 (S) 1030 - 11:51Z 50 37 8 182 (S) 979 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:54Z began ventilations.
