---- Observing Plan ----

---- Observing Summary ----
The night was entirely lost to clouds, humidity, and rain.
---- 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= 14.3, Tsp2= 13.3
Outside air temperature= 10.9
COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be OUT-OF-FOCUS (|mean| > 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of   -6.0 degrees for spectro-1
COLLIMATE: Camera b2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict blue camera ring movement of   -0.2 degrees for spectro-2
COLLIMATE: Camera r1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of  256 steps for spectro-1
COLLIMATE: Camera r2 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean| < 0.15 pix)
COLLIMATE: Predict (red) piston movement of  -128 steps for spectro-2
Restarted the 2.5m laptop, STUI, and all associated software.
Ventilation delayed because of weather.
Night
=====
10:00Z - There is no hope of observing tonight. Lots of storms on top of us and
are still coming. Humidity is also high. Started APOGEE and BOSS cals.
