Night
=====
Delayed opening because of clouds/radar returns.
01:05Z - Started spectro biases sequence. Exp. 134883-134912.
02:37Z - Started darks. Exp. 134913-134915.
We never opened because of thunderstorms moving through throughout the night.
Started APOGEE cal sequence before calling it a night.

---- Software Used ----
The getVersions script hung because apo actor wasn't responding. When we
manually pinged the actors we checked versions in STUI and verified that new
guider actor was running, which was the only software change we expected from
last night.
