With r1, r2 in spec, Predict blue camera ring movement of -6.2 degrees for spectro-1 Predict blue camera ring movement of 8.1 degrees for spectro-2 We should be in spec on the boss collimation. MARVELS bias, ThAr and TIO taken - looks OK APOGEE cals look OK. Night: ----- Ventilation started with a delay because of high dust in the evening (6K). 01:48Z ventilation started, doors and louvers opened. Opening delayed because of snow clouds nearby and visible shower-like structures in the clouds around us. We had clouds, then gradually rising humidity. 06:40Z dew point difference dropped below 3.0 and we stopped ventilation. Doors and louvers closed. 08:30Z snow started Morning: started APOGEE scheduler and calibrations.
