then BOSS (6.0 h)
---- Observing Summary ----
The night was lost to the bad weather. We never get a chance to open.
Note to engineers and developers:
1. We had a serious on SP1 low pressure at 03:05Z (see log for details).
2. 04:58Z we had a warning on SP2 ionpumpLatched.
Warn 	boss.SP2BlueIonPumpLatched Reported by camCheck.
Warn 	boss.SP2BlueIonPump Reported by camCheck.
3. 25m weather station reported incorrect information at 07:25Z, 10-20 minutes
later it functions correctly.

Afternoon:
==========
Checked actors, gathered mirror numbers, took guider dark, started APOGEE cals
and BOSS collimation:

     sp2:   25629,   25220,   26118;

Median spectrographs temperatures:
     Tsp1= 14.2,  Tsp2= 13.4;
     Outside air temperature= 12.0;
COLLIMATE: Camera b1 appears to be IN-FOCUS (|mean|  0.15 pix)

     Outside air temperature= 11.8;
Delayed ventilating due to lots of rain and humidity.
Night:

02:10Z: Rain, rain, rain ...
03:05Z: we got serious alert:
Serious 	boss.SP1LN2Fill Reported by camCheck
warning from STUI log:
03:05:05 .boss 57989 boss w SP1LN2Fill=FAULT!!!
03:05:05 .boss 57989 boss w camCheck=SP1LN2Fill
03:05:05 .alerts 0 alerts w alert=boss.SP1LN2Fill,serious,"Reported by

03:15:07 .alerts 0 alerts w text="sent MAIL SERIOUS    boss.SP1LN2Fill ==
Reported by camCheck"
We went down to the enclosure, and found that the primary fill for SP2 was
completed, but the fill for SP1 was still in progress. The LN2 pressure
read 10 psi on sp2, 3 psi on sp1. We forced another primary fill with
"startfillseq", one can tell that the purge (out-gassing) on SP2 was
much more powerful than on SP1. SP2 fill was completed very soon, and
took about 4 minutes for SP2 to stop (not sure if the fill is completed
due to the low pressure). Then I did another "startfillseq", then check
the ln2status to confirm that the fill was successful.
We monitor the pressure, and found that SP1 more than 30 minutes for the
pressure back to 9 PSI.
We don't know what caused the low pressure on SP1 low little dewar. I checked
and confirm that the secondary filled was completed at 01:25Z (1.5 hours before
the serious alter), so 10L dewar should have enough N2 in it. We also noticed
that the valve of 180L was frozen. Which this be a factor?
04:58Z we had a warning on SP2 ionpumpLatched.
Warn 	boss.SP2BlueIonPumpLatched Reported by camCheck
Warn 	boss.SP2BlueIonPump Reported by camCheck
"boss ackErrors" was issued. The warning did not come back.
07:25Z: we notice that 25m weather station reported incorrect information. 10
minutes later it functions correctly. According to Audrey, it have being done
this during past several nights.
11:30Z call it the night.
