We never opened. Notes to developers/engineers: ----------------------------- The autoscheduler failed with a null pointer error. See the output in the log body below. We have no schedule for tomorrow, so no plugging changes were requested. Peter, you will have to send another request to the pluggers, I'm afraid. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: --------- 00:42Z - Started APOGEE evening cals. 01:04Z - MARVELS ThAr lamp on Actors checked - alive and well. BOSS cameras are off the telescope - no BOSS checks done. Afternoon checkout at telescope was without problems. Ventilation not started because of imminent rain. Night: ----- Clouds, high humidity and sprinkles with storm cells nearby kept us closed all night. This is definitely monsoon weather. 03:37Z - MARVELS ThAr lamp off. 10:43Z - APOGEE morning calibrations started. Amps off.
