---- Observing Plan ----
Shakeup: work on cameras etc and software, optical collimation.
---- Observing Summary ----
Because of work on BOSS cameras, we did not get a chance for optical
collimation tonight. But we did keep ventilation for 6 hours. Hope this
will be helpful for fiducial crossing data and optical collimation later,
---- Observing Log ----
During afternoon, engineering camera was checked out.
Checked actors.
01:40Z Connie and Jim are working on cameras, optical collimation is on hold.
05:30Z Connie and Jim finished their work on cameras, we dismounted engCam and
mount a boss cartridge for tests.
05:40Z started ventilation.
05:43Z cart 17, plate 5706.
Take bias, flats.
Flats indicated there are some patterns, we spend the rest of the night
on trying to understand what cause them.
After everyone left, we has error message:
10:01:48 .boss 4503 boss w text="Camcheck discovered unacknowledged state for
sp1cam, which will need to be iacked"
10:01:48 .boss 4503 boss w SP1ExecBoot=UNACKNOWLEDGED; SP1PhaseBoot=UNACKNOWLEDGED
10:01:48 .boss 4503 boss w camCheck=SP1ExecBoot,SP1PhaseBoot
Since we have not opened for a few weeks, we keep the telescope ventilation
till 12:00Z for the fiducial crossing data that will be taken this morning.
