We finished 8 boss plates. cart 11, plate 4481. DONE cart 10, plate 4566. DONE cart 12, plate 4629. DONE cart 14, plate 4737. DONE cart 15, plate 4730. DONE cart 17, plate 4750. DONE cart 18, plate 4043. DONE cart 16, plate 4014. DONE Since we do not left any partial finished plate, it is a good time to adjust XMID and WAVEMID. XMIDs were adjusted -1.5 pixels on SP1, -2 pixels on SP2. WAVEMIDs adjusted by +2.5 A on r1, -4 A on r2. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- We had another netburner problem. One hartmann exposure on SP2 did not read out. The usually recovery "boss clearExposure" followed by "boss reloadControllers" get it back. All actors and systems were checked, no problem to report. Boss collimation was checked on cart 16, no adjusted was made. 23:45Z mount cart 11. 23:50Z started ventilation. Night: ----- 01:12Z enclosure off. 01:58Z cart 11, plate 4481.
