Windy, dusty but good seeing for the most part. Observed the following: Cartridge 13, plate 5990 - BOSS - DONE Cartridge 10, plate 5992 - BOSS - DONE Cartridge 11, plate 6004 - BOSS - DONE Cartridge 12, plate 6007 - BOSS - DONE Cartridge 17, plate 5167 - BOSS - DONE Cartridge 14, plate 5192 - BOSS - DONE Cartridge 15, plate 5193 - BOSS - DONE Cartridge 18, plate 5199 - BOSS - not done in twilight: Cartridge 8, plate 5225, Field K09_081+11 - APOGEE 1x500s ABBA No missing spectra, fiber 88 has faint spectrum Notes to engineers: For the last two nights we have witnessed a strong oscillation of the rotator at a frequency of about 2 Hz after clearing the axes. Possibly it is an ambient temperature effect, and the PID coefficients need to be tuned? We accumulated over 20,000 "dust-hours" We had another instance of the zenith locking pin interlock not clearing, preventing us from raising the cartridge lift until we unlocked and locked the pin again. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- Checked actors, plates at platedb, telescope, fiducials, everything is ok. Taken bais and dark. Checked collimation. Started APOGEE evening cals. 01:05Z started ventilation.
