We also had periods of elevated dust, so please check the mirror. Observed the following: Cart. 12, 5810 Cart. 11, 6455 - DONE Cart. 13, 6403 - DONE Cart. 15, 6476 When we closed, the E roll-up door exhibited the same behavior as yesterday. It would not begin its motion downward until after we toggled the breaker switch. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon ---------- Actors were tested, status has been checked, all ok Initial status has been copied to problem section. No apogee evening calibrations because of no apogee planned tonight. Checked instrument with threeReadsDark, and it was ok. I added one more column to apogee list of headers, where I type status of archiving, "o" for each archived file, "x" for each not archived, and all together ?-?-?, I did BOSS calibrations with cart 16 plate 6630. Kaike asked me to adjust b2 to -5. (+2 degrees) I adjusted b1 to -5 also (-2 degrees) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -5.0 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of 4.7 degrees for spectro-2 COLLIMATE: Issue command: "boss moveColl spec=sp1 a=256 b=256 c=256" COLLIMATE: Issue command: "boss moveColl spec=sp2 a=512 b=512 c=512" Initial Motor position: sp1: 27455, 28006, 27738; sp2: 29003, 28394, 29119; Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 6.8, Tsp2= 6.3; Outside air temperature= 8.8; Final Motor position: sp1: 26303, 26858, 26586; sp2: 33914, 33304, 34028; BOSS calibrations, ff=157512 XMID spec : -0.1 0.7 -0.5 0.1 (ct 12) WAVEMID spec: 0.6 0.2 -6.1 -5.1 (ct 12) Calibrations were in spec :-)) Got gcamera dark and guider flat. Gathered mirror numbers Cart 12 is mounted, and it should be the first cart tonight. I forgot that I should not use cart 16 for afternoon check, I check my calibrations with cart 12. COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -6.5 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of 6.8 degrees for spectro-2 COLLIMATE: Issue command: "boss moveColl spec=sp1 a=298 b=298 c=298" COLLIMATE: Issue command: "boss moveColl spec=sp2 a=213 b=213 c=213" b2 is still 6.8 and I adjust b-rings tomorrow. xmid and wavemid were in spec. I think, I entered to enclosure and opened doors before arc completed. So, it was sos red, but I marked it as test. 00:35 Started ventilation Night ===== 01:05Z - Opened to partly cloudy skies. Force-filled spectrographs from 180L LN2 dewars. Checked telescope balance and fiducials. Moved APOGEE gang connector to 1m port. Cart. 12, 5810 ************** 01:36Z - GSOGTF. Partly cloudy skies.
