---- Observing Summary ----
The night was lost due to clouds, high humidity, and a few snow flurries. We
never opened.
JohnP worked on the software a bit tonight, but nothing new was implemented.
---- Observing Log ----
Afternoon:
----------
BOSS collimation was checked with cart 10. Here is the info:
COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of   -3.0 degrees for spectro-1
COLLIMATE: Mean offset = -0.31 pix
COLLIMATE:
COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of    5.7 degrees for spectro-2
COLLIMATE:
COLLIMATE: Camera r1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of  -42 steps for spectro-1
COLLIMATE: Issue command: "boss moveColl spec=sp1 a=-42 b=-42 c=-42"
COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of  -85 steps for spectro-2
COLLIMATE: Issue command: "boss moveColl spec=sp2 a=-85 b=-85 c=-85"
motorPosition
   sp1:   -6382,   -6378,   -6683;
   sp2:   -2714,   -3914,   -4018;
Median spectrographs temperatures:
   Tsp1= 0.4,  Tsp2= -0.3;
Outside air temperature= -3.8;
apogee evening caibs were taken and checked.
All systems and actor were checked, no problem to report.
The weather prevents from evening ventilation.
