Initial motor position: sp1: 25834, 26381, 26132; sp2: 31092, 30465, 31200; Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 2.3, Tsp2= 1.5; Outside air temperature= -3.8; Final motor position: sp1: 22461, 23008, 22759; sp2: 27633, 27010, 27742; BOSS calibrations done, all in spec. Got gcamera dark and guider flat. Gathered mirror numbers Cart 10 was mounted on telescope and it will the the first cartridge for the night. The weather is not cooperative. Clouds, some snow, radar return. No ventilation now. Telescope was checked and everything was proper. Night: ------ 05:10Z John Parejko started tests with guider 07:43Z tests finished Around 09Z sky was getting clear more or less, but we have fresh snow on site. In a combination with wind, we observe severe blowing snow and cannot open. 10:40Z morning calibrations and scheduler started ---- Telescope Status ---- Never opened No interlocks bypassed Status at: 10:30Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 10 Counterweights at: 283 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 197 lbs, 19 psi SP2 210 lbs, 19 psi ---- Software Used ---- Get Versions, 21:57:45 ----STUI software: STUI: 1.2 2012-12-19 alerts: v1_2_1 apo: v1_7 boss: v2_5_13 boss.daq: 1.3.2 boss.specMech: 3.0.1 gcamera: v1_2_10 guider: v1_4_1 hub: Tag: sdss3_v1_2_0 mcp: v6_6_16 mcp.plc: 28 mcp.azFiducialVersion: v1_107 mcp.altFiducialVersion: v1_107 mcp.rotFiducialVersion: v1_107 platedb: v1_0_5 sop: v1_2_16 sos: v1_2_0 sos.idlspec2d: v5_6_3 tcc: 2.14.0 apogee: ** not availble ** apogeecal: ** not availble ** apogeeql: v1_4_1 -----Other software sdssProcedure(sdss3): v3_06 Scripts : v3_0+trunk idlspec2d (sos3) --- v5_6_3 plate-mapper3 ------ NOCVS:v5_0_16 -- done -- Setting up: idlspec2d Flavor: Linux64 Version: v5_6_3 Setting up: |elodie Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_3 Setting up: |spinspect Flavor: Linux64 Version: start Setting up: |specflat Flavor: NULL Version: v1_19 Setting up: |speclog Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |platelist Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |platedb Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_3_1 Setting up: |hooloovookit Flavor: Linux64 Version: v3_4_1 Setting up: |sqlalchemy Flavor: Linux64 Version: 0.7.7 Setting up: |scipy Flavor: Linux64 Version: 0.7.1 Setting up: |psycopg Flavor: Linux64 Version: 2.0.11 Setting up: |actorcore Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_17 Setting up: |opscore Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_16 Setting up: |external Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_2_0 Setting up: |actorkeys Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |plc Flavor: Linux64 Version: v28_5 Setting up: |sdss3tools Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_7_12 Setting up: |RO Flavor: Linux64 Version: RO-2.8.0 Setting up: |tron Flavor: Linux64 Version: sdss3_v1_1_9 Setting up: |idlutils Flavor: Linux64 Version: v5_5_8 Setting up: |idl Flavor: Linux64 Version: 7.1 Setting up: |dust Flavor: Linux64 Version: v0_1 Setting up: actorcore Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_17 Setting up: |opscore Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_16 Setting up: |external Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_2_0 Setting up: |actorkeys Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |plc Flavor: Linux64 Version: v28_5 Setting up: |sdsstools Flavor: Linux64 Version: v4_33 Setting up: |sdss3tools Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_7_12 Setting up: |RO Flavor: Linux64 Version: RO-2.8.0 Setting up: |tron Flavor: Linux64 Version: sdss3_v1_1_9 ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 5.362 5.362 Axial B: 5.211 5.212 Axial C: 5.517 5.517 Trans D: 10.362 10.353 Lateral E: 10.6553 10.6553 Lateral F: 12.2809 12.2809 GALILS Commanded: 11300 -650 5500 21900 13500 13050 Actual: 11300 -650 5500 21900 13500 13050 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 612.35 1500.90 PrimOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 612.07 1500.38 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.00 Air temp: -4.1 Altitude: 30.3 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 7.039 7.036 Axial B: 7.048 7.041 Axial C: 7.031 7.031 Trans D: 0.336 0.334 GALILS Commanded: 1576550 1594600 1580000 -3550 -6650 Actual: 1576537 1594591 1580014 -3550 -6650 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.00 3.00 5.00 0.00 115.81 SecOrient: 1257.00 2.99 5.02 -0.16 116.14 ---- Problems in Detail ---- -- Status, 2013-03-09, 21:59:43 Enclosure = closed; cwPositions = 283 281 283 283; MCP instr = 10 (mounted); Guider cart= 10, plate= 5731, side= A (loaded); ---------- motorPosition sp1: 25834, 26381, 26132; sp2: 31092, 30465, 31200; ---------- Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 2.3, Tsp2= 1.5; Outside air temperature= -3.8; ---------- Boss CCD Temp : sp1r0= -125.0 (-126.6); sp1b2= -100.0 (-100.0); sp2r0= -134.4 (-134.8); sp2b2= -101.2 (-100.0); sp1LN2: 10.0; sp2LN2: 10.0; ---------- gcameraTemp= -40.0 (-40.0) gcamera simulating = Off Rel.
