The mirror will no doubt need to be cleaned. Observed the following under mostly clear and dusty conditions: Cartridge 1, plate 4580B - APG_N2420 - MARVELS No spectra seen in fibers 33, 34 Cartridge 6, plate 4516A - APG_SGR1 - MARVELS Cartridge 7, plate 4521A - APGS_VOD2 - MARVELS Cartridge 7, plate 4521B - APG_VOD3 - MARVELS Cartridge 8, plate 4680A - APG_M5PAL5 - MARVELS Cartridge 5, plate 4673A - APG_M13 - MARVELS Cartridge 3, plate 4588A - APGS_N5466 - MARVELS No spectra seen in fibers 49, 50 Cartridge 4, plate 4674A - APGS_M107 - MARVELS (observed twice) ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- 2320Z - BOSS bias taken 2349Z - ThAr lamp on 2350Z - BOSS dark taken, guider dark taken. All actors checked, and found alive. 0015Z - Telescope and enclosure checkout completed. No problems noted. 0020Z - Cartridge 1 mounted. Ventilation delayed because of high dust counts. 0130Z - Started ventilation 0140Z - Opened enclosure.
