Almost Full Moon. We got a chance to open close to the morning. APOGEE plates exposed: 6 5628 - 2xABBA, no dead fibers We were unable to move BOSS collimators, see log for details. John P and Kyle D suggest day crew to check the mech boxes. Eastern door motor made a loud metal noise when we tried to open it in the night, and the door was not opening (it could be closed tough). We used chain to crack the door. Please, fix it. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon -------- Tested actors-ok getVersions, 2013-01-24 22:25:06 --> guider: trunk+svn142395; Status ok, and copied to problem section Apogee threeReadsDark - ok 22:28:55 Apogee evening calibration 22:33:30 boss exposure bias 22:34:57 boss exposure dark itime=20 22:36:38 gcamera dark time=20 Enclosure was checked - ok 23:00 Started ventilation Night ------ 00:25Z ventilation stopped because of approaching rain clouds. 00:55Z rain started 04:30Z cart 18 is mounted for collimator test 04:30Z we noticed that flat looks as a dark. Noticed that both shutters did not open during the exposure. Notified JohnP since he's on line. 04:34Z boss mechiack issued. After that JohnP noticed that status of motors is not good. We try to move collimator motors, but got, typically: 04:47:10 APO.asimmons 28 boss w text="Failure from sp2mech: Failed Motors not all initialized" 04:47:10 APO.asimmons 28 boss w text='move failed; ignoring' ... 04:47:14 APO.asimmons 28 boss w text="stopped a move -- too many tries. requested=1000 moved=0 " We contacted Kyle, and he recommended to postpone investigation until day time. Status of mech boxes should be checked by day crew. 06:25Z started ventilation. Then got more clouds. 06:40 - 07:50Z : supported JohnP's works on actors. 08:48Z humidity is rising, sky is cloudy, so we stopped ventilation. 11:28Z enclosure off cart 6 is mounted Guider error while going to the field: 01:33:45 APO.asimmons.sop 86 guider i processing=/data/gcam/56317/gimg-0006.fits 11:33:45 APO.asimmons.sop 86 guider i text=GuiderImageAnalysis()... 11:33:45 APO.asimmons.sop 86 guider i text=GuiderImageAnalysis.findFibers()... 11:33:45 .guider 0 guider w text="Unexpected exception maximum recursion depth exceeded in guider master thread" 11:34:04 APO.asimmons 68 sop f text="Failed to take a guider flat" 11:34:04 CmdDone: APO.asimmons 68 sop gotoField Tried again - same thing.
