Completed dithered flats on Cart. 13. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- 22:33Z - BOSS bias, dark, flat, arc. 22:46Z - APOGEE evening calibrations started. BOSS Hartmanns taken. B1 is off by -4.1 deg and B2 by +4.7 when R1, R2 are in focus. We should be good if we can open. Tracy came in and got the cartridge that was stuck on the wookiee off and into the bay. We then did the old cartridge shuffle and got cartridge 15 out of the enclosure and into the rack, so we will be all set to access tonight's needed cartridges if conditions let us open. Night: ----- 07:35Z - Finished cart. 13 dithered flats: exposures 137307-137329. 08:34Z - Turned off ThAr lamp. Started APOGEE morning calibration sequence. 11:50Z - Closed down for the night.
