During this time, we completed spectral biases, darks, and flats for this month. We opened at 05:00Z and observed: Cart 14, plate 6799 Cart 17, plate 6299 Cart 11, plate 6294 Cart 9, plate 5551, 090+00_A, 2XABBA + 1XAB. faint: 45, 284 The west enclosure door is having the same problems as before (probably from the moths). The door would start to come down, but would go back up again and the motor emitted loud noises. We had to use the chain to manually close the door. We also noticed that the sheathing on the coiled wire that leads into the silver box mounted on the door is shredded. ---- 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= 16.0, Tsp2= 15.1 Outside air temperature= 18.1 Adjusted B2 by -4 degrees.
