We accumulated an integrated dust count of 30k, please check the mirror and clean if necessary. We closed in the middle of the night for high dust count (10.5k) We observed the following plates: Cart 10, 6974 - DONE Cart 12, 6837 - DONE Cart 15, 6805 - DONE Cart 4, 6077 - 2x ABBA Sequences - Missing: None - Faint: 284 Cart 6, 6098 - 2x ABBA Sequences - Missing: None - Faint: 15, 34 Cart 8, 6906 - 1x ABBA Sequence - Missing: 184 - Faint: None 11:22Z - Started APOGEE Morning Cals, BOSS 20x Bias and 1x 900s Dark A few minor problem, two of them might related to day tcc test: during afternoon checkout: 1) Guider was hung, could not be killed with restart or stop. stopdead was used to restart the actor. 2). A huge fiducial error on altitude. Accept the fiducial make mirror number in E and F better, bare inside of spec. Home/relax the primary mirror have mirror number much better. 3). Wind-baffle knife-switch had to be cycled three time before the 24-v power LED came on. ----- Engineering ----- The SP2 180L dewar (labeled "Dewar 5") needs a new pressure gauge. The current one is broken and no longer has a needle. Since we can determine the pressure via the TPM, I see no need to replace it before the dewar is empty (thereby not having to purge the gas in order to swap the gauge). ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- BOSS collimation was checked with cartridge 10. No adjustment was made.
