---- Observing Plan ----
Pointing Model
---- Observing Summary ----
Night was lost to clouds, humidity, and rain. Homed/relaxed mirrors in
anticipation of pointing model and took additional BOSS biases and darks.
---- Observing Log ----
Afternoon
=========
Checked STUI actors, checked mirror numbers, checked upper and lower telescope
enclosure, checked fiducials, cleaned APOGEE gang connector and took APOGEE
evening cals, took guider dark, BOSS biases and dark, and checked focus of BOSS
spectrographs (see Problems section). No problems to report during checkout.
01:25Z - Began ventilation in hopes that the weather would cooperate for a
pointing model.
Night
=====
Opening delayed because of clouds.
Homed/relaxed the mirrors in case we'd be able to open for a pointing model.
03:30Z - Stopped ventilation because of increasing humidity and cloud coverage.
We took additional BOSS biases and darks.
With the rain and 100% humidity, we called it a night. Started APOGEE morning
cals and ran the auto scheduler, Note that the auto scheduler page did not
request any plates be plugged, although if we are indeed doing twilight
observing we should have at minimum one twilight plate on the back burner.
