We completed spectro monthly biases, darks, and flats while we were closed. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- BOSS collimation was checked with cart 11. No adjustment made. Predict blue camera ring movement of -2.2 degrees for spectro-1 Predict blue camera ring movement of 1.4 degrees for spectro-2 Predict (red) piston movement of 42 steps for spectro-1 Predict (red) piston movement of -85 steps for spectro-2 otorPosition sp1: 21233, 21367, 21093; sp2: 21307, 20652, 21795; Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 8.0, Tsp2= 7.2; Outside air temperature= 7.3; APOGEE evening calibration were taken, checked. Nearby radar, no evening ventilation. Night: ====== Lots of clouds and a light drizzle outside. We did not open at sunset. 04:42Z - Started spectro monthly checkout since it was last done almost a month ago. Bias exposures 175771 - 90. Darks 175791 - 93.

We do not have a chance to open tonight. We ran the scheduler and started APOGEE and BOSS cals. ---- Telescope Status ---- No interlocks bypassed Status at: 12:03Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 11 Counterweights at: 445 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 252 lbs, 19 psi SP2 267 lbs, 20 psi ---- Software Used ---- ----STUI software: STUI: 1.3 2013-09-05 alerts: v1_3_0 apo: v1_10 boss: v2_5_15 boss.daq: 1.3.2 boss.specMech: 3.0.4 gcamera: v1_3_7 guider: v1_6_3 hub: Tag: sdss3_v1_2_0 mcp: v6_6_18 mcp.plc: 29 mcp.azFiducialVersion: v1_111 mcp.altFiducialVersion: v1_111 mcp.rotFiducialVersion: v1_111 platedb: v1_1_0 sop: v1_3_2 sos: v1_2_0 sos.idlspec2d: v5_6_9 tcc: 2.14.0 apogee: -not availble- apogeecal: -not availble- apogeeql: v1_5_3 -----Other software sdssProcedure(sdss3): v3_06 APO-local scripts : not availble idlspec2d (sos3) --- v5_6_9 plate-mapper3 ------ NOCVS:v5_0_14a ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 15.012 15.011 Axial B: 16.006 16.003 Axial C: 15.531 15.529 Trans D: -0.002 -0.003 Lateral E: 10.6426 10.6299 Lateral F: 12.2809 12.2809 GALILS Commanded: 11300 -650 5500 21900 13500 13050 Actual: 11300 -650 5500 21900 13500 13050 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 612.35 1500.90 PrimOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 612.07 1500.38 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.00 Air temp: 7.5 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -7.064 -7.063 Axial B: -7.032 -7.036 Axial C: -7.076 -7.078 Trans D: 0.025 0.024 GALILS Commanded: 1575950 1583000 1592550 -8800 -3350 Actual: 1575882 1579485 1587895 -8800 -3350 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.00 -4.10 3.00 -100.00 143.14 SecOrient: 1254.82 -3.31 1.78 -100.83 143.10 ---- Miscellaneous ---- APOGEE morning cal info ======================== i UT File/Exp Imtype Nread Dth Ct-Plate Arch Offset %Flux Comm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 12:34 11510020 Dark 60 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - - 2 12:44 11510021 Dark 60 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - - 3 12:55 11510022 Dark 60 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - - 4 13:06 11510023 QuarFlat 10 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - 90 5 13:08 11510024 QuarFlat 10 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - 90 6 13:10 11510025 QuarFlat 10 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - 90 7 13:12 11510026 Arc-Thar 12 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c 1.89 - 8 13:14 11510027 Arc-Une 40 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - - 9 13:21 11510028 Arc-Thar 12 B-13.5 3-5763 a-b-c 2.30 - 10 13:23 11510029 Arc-Une 40 B-13.5 3-5763 a-b-c - - 11 13:31 11510030 Dark 30 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - - 12 13:36 11510031 InteFlat 30 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - 99 13 13:41 11510032 InteFlat 30 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - 99 14 13:47 11510033 InteFlat 30 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - 99 15 13:52 11510034 Dark 30 A-13.0 3-5763 a-b-c - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
