Tracy came and fixed it but but we had to skip the filling at the beginning of the night. We did them at the end when the system started to complain, - We still have to use a bypass (gang podium) to slew with apogee because the system does not recognize the gang connector status. - We had issues with going to field on cart 7. Supposedly because the field was at zenith. This was part of a test of guider done with cart 7. See details in log. - For cartridge 5, the APOGEE quicklook was indicating high signal in while no guide stars are visible (beginning of second ABBA loop). We do not know whether it is real or an artifact due to a very bright moon-lighted sky. ---- Observing Plan ---- Fri 5 DEC 2014 56997.0 0.99 00:34 12:55 22:30 10:52 Eng.
