We observed: cart 8, plate 5565, field 186+48_A. The data is useless because of thick clouds. cart 7, plate 5635A. Field N5466_A. partly cloudy sky, good seeing. APOGEE: faint fiber 250. MARVELS: missed spectra: 49/50, 107/108, 117/118. Cart 3, plate 5666. Field: M5PAL5_A. Cloudy, guider seeing at 1.4'. Faint fiber: 250. Cart 4, plate 5669. N6229_A. partly cloudy, seeing at 1.2-1.3". We obtained a bonus AB sequence (2 ABBA + 1 AB) on this plate. Faint fibers: 250, 284. Note to developers/engineers: 1. SoS is 96% full. sdR-r1-00142240.fit.gz: WARNING: SOS disk /data/spectro/56024 is 96% full 2. We accumulated 31K dust, and last night we had 25K. So, Please check and clean mirrors.
