B1: -7.5 B2: +7.5 Nominal B1: -6, B2: +8 B1 Camera ring moved +4 degrees R1: 0 R2: -128 Falling snow, blowing snow and high humidity prevented us from starting ventilation. Night: ------ 01:50Z blowing snow we will definitely not be able to open for hours. started dithered flat on cart 10. 02:03Z during the dithered flat process, we had the NetBurmer problem: 02:03:54 APO.kpan 9 boss f text="command failed: error('Invalid response from Netburner.',) at /home/sdss3/products/Linux64/boss/v2_5_5/python/boss/DAQInterface.py:1435" 02:03:54 CmdDone: APO.kpan 9 boss ping the recovery procedure did recover the data. We checked and found collimators are at positions where we started the sequence. Then we took a bias, one arc, one flat to confirm that XMID and WaveMID do not change, and they do not. 02:30Z restarted the dithered sequence. Frames are: 141444-141465. 07:00Z started APOGEE morning calibs. 10:20Z because of blowing snow, we will not have any chance to open, call it a night. ---- Telescope Status ---- Never open.
