We were hoping that this plate would finish, but the last exposure gave us much less signal than the previous exposure. Clouds came in during the last 10 minutes, in addition to the start of twilight. We will finish this plate tomorrow. 12:23Z - There is not enough time for APOGEE tonight. Mounted cart 10 for tomorrow evening. Closed enclosure. Started APOGEE and BOSS cals. The first dark of the APOGEE cals may be no good because I forgot to swap the connector to the podium until after I started the cal sequence. I figure since no data was taken tonight, it will be okay. ---- Telescope Offsets and Scale ---- 06:02 13-6641A 136.6 70.1 -55.9 ( 3.3, 1.4) ( -41.4) ( 10.8, 7.2, 0.0) boss 06:18 13-6641A 142.1 72.4
