Opened at 5:30Z after the storm system passed. APOGEE OBSERVING: Cart 6 (Plate 7774) Field 120+06 - 1xABBA + skyflats [missing fiber #181; faint fibers #15,21,34,133,248,297] Cart 5 (Plate 7776) Field 120-12 - 2xABBA [missing fiber #55,184,211; faint fibers #27,161] Cart 8 (Plate 7778) Field 140-12 - 2xABBA [missing fibers #35,184; faint fibers #88,158,173,227,248] Cart 3 (Plate 7931) Field 160+06 - 2xABBA [no missing fibers; faint fibers #27,133,158,247,248,250] Cart 7 (Plate 7948) Field 206+00 - 2xABBA [no missing fibers; faint fibers #27,248,268] Dome flat for Cart 6 did not archive.

cartridge change, the rotator was oscillating. The oscillation was a few centimeters, and you can hear the motors working. At instrument change and at field position, there was no oscillation. The slews to these positions were smooth and no vibrations were visible. We did not see any errors or warnings from the mcpMenu window, but the fiducials window shows some bad readings for the rotator around the time of the gang change. We will reset the rotator amplifiers and check to see if there was an axis slip at the next cart change as a precaution. We are not sure why the rotator suddenly decided to oscillate at this time. None of the other cartridges at gang change position had this behavior. We checked the interlocks for the rotator, and three of the rotator interlocks were in red: rot_dir_cw, rot_inst_chg_a and rot_inst_chg_b (checked during APOGEE exposures at 12:00Z). At 12:57Z, these three interlocks are green, so we guess the interlocks were all in an okay status? No axis slip was seen. No other oscillations were seen during close up this morning. We reset the rotator amplifier just in case before turning it off.
