Focused BOSS spectrographs using cart. 11 according to Observing Plan: Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 15.4, Tsp2= 14.5 Outside air temperature= 15.2 COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of -5.2 degrees for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of 0.7 degrees for spectro-2 COLLIMATE: Camera r1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of 42 steps for spectro-1 COLLIMATE: Camera r2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix) COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of -85 steps for spectro-2 Ventilation delayed because of intermittent rain. Night ===== The night was lost to periods of rain, high humidity, and clouds. 10:43Z - We still have clouds and nearby radar return heading toward us. We decided to call it a night. 10:44Z - Ran auto scheduler, started APOGEE morning cals, and BOSS biases/dark. ---- Weather Log ---- Wind 1 um DIMM IRSC Time Temp C Dewp C MPH Dir Dust fwhm mean sigma 18:00 16.2 9.6 9.5 243.5 1271 18:15 15.9 9.3 12.7 190.5 1236 18:30 16.7 9.2 4.0 223.2 1132 18:45 16.6 9.3 9.9 195.4 1143 19:00 15.3 8.8 8.0 109.8 1139 19:15 13.4 6.9 13.0 112.3 949 19:30 12.3 6.0 13.2 76.8 1151 19:45 11.3 6.1 12.8 80.5 1776 20:00 13.3 5.6 15.5 58.7 1141 20:15 16.2 7.4 13.3 32.1 733 20:30 16.8 5.0 12.0 55.6 972 20:45 13.9 5.9 18.6 13.1 763 21:00 10.2 4.9 21.5 87.7 2206 21:15 12.3 3.5 20.5 72.0 807 21:30 13.4 3.1 16.9 78.4 584 21:45 13.0 4.4 18.2 82.4 599 22:00 14.4 2.7 15.6 78.2 583 22:15 16.1 1.4 9.9 77.4 494 22:30 16.3 5.3 3.6 67.9 471 22:45 17.0 6.6 13.8 81.7 593 23:00 16.4 6.2 11.3 66.4 639 23:15 15.7 6.0 14.6 78.6 622 23:30 15.4 5.9 8.1 84.2 618 23:45 15.4 4.7 18.4 67.1 602 00:00 14.6 6.0 16.1 54.1 616 00:15 14.4 4.1 21.0 3.8 651 00:30 12.5 5.2 17.6 30.5 656 00:45 10.9 5.8 26.4 29.5 669 01:00 10.9 6.0 23.7 22.1 470 01:15 10.0 6.5 9.9 14.5 795 01:30 10.7 5.3 14.5 61.5 1282 01:45 11.7 4.4 29.2 57.0 837 02:00 11.7 4.3 25.1 69.7 632 02:15 13.1 3.8 14.4 24.0 599 02:30 16.1 1.3 7.1 354.6 771 02:45 16.7 0.4 1.8 64.6 808 03:00 16.1 1.2 12.5 28.8 682 03:15 16.3 0.9 14.4 34.0 681 03:30 16.0 1.6 16.0 28.5 839 03:45 13.1 4.0 18.9 73.0 746 04:00 12.6 4.3 22.3 72.8 664 04:15 12.5 5.2 16.1 74.1 678 04:30 12.4 5.1 20.6 70.1 580 04:45 11.9 7.3 20.2 68.8 738 05:00 11.7 9.1 17.9 73.5 806 05:15 11.7 9.8 19.7 72.2 999 05:30 11.6 9.9 19.6 73.5 943 05:45 11.5 9.8 15.3 78.0 962 06:00 12.3 8.3 13.5 62.3 975 06:15 12.3 8.5 13.5 60.6 894 06:30 11.7 9.5 15.9 67.6 800 06:45 11.0 9.9 17.9 70.3 957 07:00 11.2 9.8 14.0 67.1 1022 07:15 11.2 10.0 15.5 67.9 874 07:30 11.6 9.7 13.6 78.5 907 07:45 13.1 7.6 10.2 64.1 825 08:00 14.2 5.6 5.8 73.8 744 08:15 14.9 3.0 2.1 248.5 762 08:30 13.6 4.6 3.2 253.7 791 08:45 15.8 2.0 6.8 287.5 817 09:00 15.8 2.1 8.7 268.9 872 09:15 14.9 3.1 3.9 260.0 812 09:30 14.0 4.0 5.3 280.6 808 09:45 14.2 2.9 5.0 268.6 940 10:00 13.9 3.5 6.8 270.8 966 10:15 14.1 3.4 8.7 269.6 1153 10:30 13.6 4.1 8.8 271.3 979 ---- Telescope Status ---- Status at: 10:44Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 11 Counterweights at: 307 307 304 306 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1: 235.50 lbs, 19.68 psi SP2: 235.10 lbs, 21.38 psi ---- Software Used ---- ----STUI software---- STUI: 1.3b7 2013-05-17 alerts: v1_2_1 apo: v1_7 boss: v2_5_13 boss.daq: 1.3.2 boss.specMech: 3.0.1 gcamera: v1_2_13 guider: v1_4_6 hub: Tag: sdss3_v1_1_9 mcp: v6_6_16 mcp.plc: 28 mcp.azFiducialVersion: v1_109 mcp.altFiducialVersion: v1_109 mcp.rotFiducialVersion: v1_109 platedb: v1_0_5 sop: v1_2_19 sos: v1_2_0 sos.idlspec2d: v5_6_5 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: 5.36 5.362 Axial B: 5.206 5.212 Axial C: 5.513 5.517 Trans D: 10.359 10.353 Lateral E: 10.6426 10.6553 Lateral F: 12.2682 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: 10.7 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 7.042 7.036 Axial B: 7.054 7.041 Axial C: 7.04 7.031 Trans D: 0.329 0.334 GALILS Commanded: 1576550 1594600 1580000 -3550 -6650 Actual: 1576550 1594597 1580002 -3550 -6650 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.00 3.00 5.00 0.00 115.81 SecOrient: 1257.00 2.99 5.01 -0.16 116.14
