---- Observing Plan ----
15 Jul 2013  56489.0 APOGEE until 06:28 (3.2 h), then BOSS (4.3 h)
---- Observing Summary ----
The entire night was lost due to clouds and humidity.
---- Observing Log ----
Afternoon
=========
Checked STUI actors, checked mirror numbers, checked upper and lower telescope
enclosure, checked fiducials, cleaned APOGEE gang connector and took APOGEE
evening cals, verified APOGEE archiving, took a few BOSS biases to verify
aliveness, took guider dark sequence.
Focused BOSS spectrographs using cart. 11 according to Observing Plan:
Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 15.5, Tsp2= 14.6
Outside air temperature= 10.4
Adjusted b1 and b2 by -2 degrees each.
COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of   -3.7 degrees for spectro-1
COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of    1.8 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 delayed due to rain, humidity, clouds.
Night
=====
09:39Z - Humidity got better, but clouds were still on top of us. We started
ventilating, but there is a large temperature variation between inside and
outside of the enclosure. We will wait until the clouds part and the telescope
cools off.
10:09Z - Humidity got worse. Stopped ventilating. Still cloudy.
10:41Z - Humidity still bad. Clouds still around. We will try again tomorrow.
BOSS cals and APOGEE cals are started.
