Apogee autoSched was fault, and we could not create plugging email for apogee. We asked Peter to carry about plugging email. It might not be enough slots for night cartridges and cart 16 might needs to be removed by day stuff. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- All systems and actors were checked out. No problem to report. 22:00Z Took APOGEE evening calibration. Rain, high humidity, overcasting sky prevent us from even ventilation. Took BOSS bias, dark, calibrations to check XMID and WaveMid values, prepare for next dark run. XMids and WaveMids are good. Night ------ Overcast, fog, high humidity We could not open and could not ventilate too. We had to wait if the weather might improve. The weather was hopeless and no time left for observations. endNight time. 12:00Z apogee autoShed - failed. Stephanie asked Peter to submit plugging request for apogee for the next night. 12:05Z apogee morning cals started ---- Spectroscopy Data Summary ---- Reading FITS from /data/apogee/utr_cdr/55879/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - N UT File/Exp Imagetype ObjName Nread Dth Comment - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 22:16 03170001 Dark ObjName 60 A None 2 22:18 03170002 QuartzFlat ObjName 10 A None 3 22:20 03170003 ArcLamp ObjName 12 A None 4 22:27 03170004 ArcLamp ObjName 40 A None 5 22:29 03170005 ArcLamp ObjName 12 B None 6 22:37 03170006 ArcLamp ObjName 40 B None 7 22:48 03170007 Dark ObjName 60 A None 8 07:48 03170008 Dark ObjName 10 A None 9 07:50 03170009 Dark ObjName 10 A None 10 08:00 03170010 Dark ObjName 10 A None 11 08:02 03170011 Dark ObjName 10 A None 12 12:15 03170012 Dark ObjName 60 A None 13 12:19 03170013 Dark ObjName 60 A None - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- OK --- ---- Weather Log ---- Wind 1 um DIMM IRSC Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Dir Dust fwhm mean sigma 19:00 2.9 2.6 24.8 270.5 681 19:15 2.8 2.4 22.4 239.6 661 19:30 2.6 2.3 14.6 238.4 601 19:45 2.9 2.5 21.5 260.2 748 20:00 3.1 2.8 24.5 240.6 701 20:15 3.1 2.7 22.2 221.8 784 20:30 3.5 2.9 32.9 257.1 733 20:45 3.5 2.9 18.6 265.8 942 21:00 3.6 2.7 27.9 269.0 954 21:15 3.9 2.7 24.2 264.9 864 21:30 4.0 2.6 31.0 263.1 747 21:45 4.1 2.6 28.0 267.2 700 22:00 3.9 2.8 23.0 264.3 815 22:15 4.1 2.9 30.3 250.9 819 22:30 4.4 2.9 29.8 261.3 993 22:45 4.4 2.9 29.5 252.5 902 23:00 4.4 2.7 28.8 265.8 835 23:15 4.2 2.5 29.9 253.8 457 23:30 4.1 2.6 24.8 252.5 495 23:45 3.8 2.9 24.4 260.5 480 00:00 3.6 2.9 24.7 255.6 1131 00:15 3.6 2.9 29.8 268.1 364 00:30 3.6 2.7 24.0 258.2 353 00:45 3.6 1.8 25.8 255.0 344 01:00 3.7 -3.9 29.4 268.8 96659 01:15 3.8 -0.2 28.2 255.8 3708 01:30 3.8 -0.3 24.6 259.6 5543 01:45 3.6 -0.2 26.8 263.8 8865 02:00 3.6 -1.1 19.2 266.0 6234 02:15 3.7 0.6 22.3 283.6 10108 02:30 3.7 1.2 21.0 270.1 7867 02:45 3.3 0.9 29.7 262.1 14966 03:00 3.3 0.5 20.0 274.0 12333 03:15 2.8 0.2 24.6 270.0 8366 03:30 2.8 -2.6 22.5 281.6 4038 03:45 2.6 0.4 25.1 278.3 2001 04:00 2.6 0.6 17.4 266.5 4322 04:15 2.4 0.2 17.5 271.6 6024 04:30 2.2 -0.4 14.0 272.0 2872 04:45 2.2 -2.4 21.4 266.5 1292 05:00 2.1 0.3 19.3 274.9 3373 05:15 2.0 -0.4 19.5 266.2 7098 05:30 2.0 -4.1 18.8 265.4 6475 05:45 2.0 0.3 10.8 263.6 2147 06:00 1.9 -0.2 14.8 274.5 1440 06:15 1.8 -2.4 12.8 264.6 31001 06:30 1.8 0.3 15.8 273.5 20272 06:45 1.7 -0.3 14.8 286.3 23965 07:00 1.3 -0.8 15.2 293.8 329 07:15 1.3 -0.8 15.3 279.8 1102 07:30 1.2 -2.4 15.8 283.1 346 07:45 1.2 -2.1 11.9 267.1 339 08:00 1.2 -1.9 15.1 284.0 350 08:15 1.2 -1.8 15.2 277.0 373 08:30 1.3 -1.8 10.7 267.0 336 08:45 1.4 -1.3 11.3 256.4 308 09:00 1.4 -1.5 12.0 260.5 28223 09:15 1.3 -1.6 12.7 245.1 46541 09:30 1.3 -1.6 13.0 278.3 410 09:45 1.2 -2.2 18.7 280.7 315 10:00 1.4 -1.8 14.3 261.6 196 10:15 1.3 -1.8 10.5 252.5 286 10:30 1.3 -2.0 10.1 254.2 298 10:45 1.2 -2.2 9.3 261.0 339 11:00 1.3 -2.1 11.0 262.1 366 11:15 1.2 -2.2 9.7 246.3 6754 11:30 1.2 -2.2 11.9 218.4 13896 11:45 1.2 -2.1 12.2 222.5 12881 12:00 1.3 -1.9 16.6 213.7 923 12:15 1.2 -2.2 12.0 222.4 996 ---- Telescope Status ---- __n/a__ Started ventilation __n/a__ encl25m : open __n/a__ encl25m : closed No interlocks bypassed Status at: 12:19:57 Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.1, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 16 Counterweights at: 283, 284, 284, 289 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on -180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 96.8 lbs, 20.1 psi SP2 107.8 lbs, 20.0 psi -Temperatures: PMSSAvg = 5.1 (avg temp. of Pri) TelairAvg = 4.3 (avg temp. in enclosure) ---- Software Used ---- ----STUI software: STUI: 1.1.1 2011-09-23;
