Kyle Dawson
Paul Harding (guider)
---- Observing Plan ----
Pointing model
Checkout eBoss spectrographs
And, other house keeping tasks.
---- Observing Summary ----
We had clouds, rain, and humidity, which prevented us from collecting the larger
data set for our pointing model.  So, we went ahead and loaded the 20-point
model from the previous night, which should allow us to complete engineering
tasks. Never open.
We did some work on the eBOSS checkout but data base issues prevented us from
completing some urgent tests.
Home collimator, set focus rings and focus spectrographs.
Completed focus sweep test, but data may not useful since the cartridge could
not be loaded before taking the data.
took 30 biases and 13 900sec darks
Notes:
------
Experience a SP1ExecBoot and SP1PhaseBoot,serious, noticed that the setting
point of R1 nominal temperature changed from -126.6C to -121.1C.
More on the alerts, see log.
Things need to be fixed (sooner is better):
1. plateDB issure: could not load cartridges.
2. SoS daemon could not be started
3.  Guider GUI could not display images taking with "tcc gcam" command, not sure
  if it can display images by guider itself.
---- Observing Log ----
Afternoon:
=========
Home eBOSS collimator.
Home/Relax mirror.
Check out telescope and enclosures.
No problem to report.
Night:
======
The weather doesn't look good for tonight, We mounted cartridge 14 at sunset,
but could not load it to sop via neither sop GUI or command nor
line with -force option.
Anyway, we go ahead set focus rings and focus the spectrographs.
Measured tilts of fiber images on CCDs, and got  85 )
