While we were closed, we took a few special hartmann exposures for JohnP. Notes can be found under the log section. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- Software and actors tested, status checked, all ok. 22:37:20 APOGEE Evening Cals has been done. BOSS limited check with bias and dark performed. Telescope has been checked and powered on. Ventilation has not been started because of high humidity. Cart 16 is on telescope. Night ------ We could not open due to heavy clouds, light rain, high humidity, and high wind. 05:00Z - JohnP needed help taking some exposures under special conditions shown within: https://trac.sdss3.org/browser/repo/ops/actors/sosActor/trunk/test_sosActor/test _boss_collimate.py#L57 in order to test some python codes. The list below shows the time the frames were taken, and their exposure numbers. '***' show the final file numbers in the format of the code. 05:08Z - sop hartmann (to determine how out-of-focus we currently are and then decide how much more out-of-focus we need to go) COLLIMATE: Mean offset = 0.21 pix COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -4.2 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Mean offset = 0.13 pix COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of 1878 steps for spectro-2 Moved both spectrographs in the opposite direction (want all 4 cameras out of focus with mean offsets greater than 0.2 pixels): 05:17:16 sp1.motor.move= 4000, 4003, 3999 05:17:53 sp2.motor.move= -1999, -2004, -2000 05:23Z - sop hartmanns - ALL cameras are now OUT-OF-FOCUS.
