Focused BOSS spectrographs: Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 5.2, Tsp2= 4.5 Outside air temperature= -0.2 COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -5.0 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of 3.2 degrees for spectro-2 COLLIMATE: Camera r1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of -128 steps for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Camera r2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of -298 steps for spectro-2 Ventilation was delayed because of inclement weather. Night ===== We never opened due to clouds, humidity, and a few snow flurries. 10:50Z - Started APOGEE morning cals and ran scheduler. ---- Telescope Status ---- 10:43Z encl25m : closed No interlocks bypassed Status at: 10:43Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 10 Counterweights at: 282 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 177 lbs, 20 psi SP2 151 lbs, 21 psi ---- Software Used ---- ---- STUI software ---- STUI: 1.3b4 2013-03-29 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_4 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 ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 5.361 5.362 Axial B: 5.209 5.212 Axial C: 5.516 5.517 Trans D: 10.36 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: 0.0 Altitude: 30.4 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 7.04 7.036 Axial B: 7.046 7.041 Axial C: 7.033 7.031 Trans D: 0.336 0.334 GALILS Commanded: 1576550 1594600 1580000 -3550 -6650 Actual: 1576487 1594496 1579851 -3550 -6650 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.00 3.00 5.00 0.00 115.81 SecOrient: 1256.97 2.98 5.00 -0.17 116.15
