No problems to report. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon ========= 22:30Z - All actors verified to be responsive (except ecamera, as expected). 22:40Z - Turned on the ThAr lamp. 22:51Z - Started biases and a dark. 23:05Z - Checked out telescope and enclosure. Checked fiducials and mirror numbers. 23:30Z - Ventilation started, doors opened. Night ===== We did not open at sunset because the humidity increased beyond our closure limit. 00:00Z - Stopped ventilation. Throughout the night we had periods of clouds and high humidity until about 08:00Z, after which we still had high humidity. There was a pocket of moist air along the mountains to the east that just stayed put all night, so even though the dewpoint difference made very small temporary improvements, we were always well below the acceptable limit. 11:34Z - Closed up. Turned off amps, put everything away. 11:38Z - Turned off ThAr lamp. 11:40Z - endNight finished. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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 23:08Z 36 28 12 265 (W) 244 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:30Z - Began ventilation.
