Ventilation postponed because of approaching rain and clouds. Night: ------ 03:05Z - Started to rain. 04:38Z - Several power bumps. Still lots of rain. Absolutely no hope of opening. We started APOGEE and BOSS cals. We had another 'flushing failure' during the cals, so we restarted the BOSS cals after reloading the controllers and a test bias. ---- Telescope Status ---- No interlocks bypassed Status at: Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 11 Counterweights at: LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 124 lbs, 17 psi SP2 103 lbs, 21 psi ---- Software Used ---- Setting up: idlspec2d Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk ... optional setup bbspec requested by idlspec2d trunk failed Setting up: |elodie Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_3 Setting up: |spinspect Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |specflat Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_21 Setting up: |speclog Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |platelist Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |sdss_python_module Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_0 Setting up: | sqlalchemy Flavor: Linux64 Version: 0.9.7 Setting up: | psycopg2 Flavor: Linux64 Version: 2.5.3 Setting up: |idlutils Flavor: Linux64 Version: v5_5_16 Setting up: | idl Flavor: Linux64 Version: 7.1 Setting up: | dust Flavor: Linux64 Version: v0_1 ... optional setup first requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed Setting up: | photolog Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk ... optional setup rc3 requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup rass requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup gsc requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup twomass requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup twomass_xsc requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup tycho2 requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup ucac requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup usno requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup ucac3 requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup ucacr14 requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed ... optional setup wise requested by idlutils v5_5_16 failed Setting up: actorcore Flavor: Linux64 Version: v2_2 Setting up: |opscore Flavor: Linux64 Version: v2_1 Setting up: |external Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_2_0 Setting up: |actorkeys Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |sdss3tools Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_7_13 Setting up: |RO Flavor: Linux64 Version: 3.5.1 Setting up: |tron Flavor: Linux64 Version: sdss4_v2_0 STUI : 1.4.1b5 alerts : trunk+svn149374 apo : trunk+svn153334 boss : v3_3 -boss.daq : 1.3.2 -boss.specMec : 3.0.4 gcamera : v2_0 guider : v2_4 hub : Tag: sdss3_v1_2_0 mcp : v6_6_18 -mcp.plc : 29 -mcp.azFiduci : v1_112 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_112 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_112 platedb : v2_3 sop : v2_6 sos : FAILED -sos.idlspec2 : FAILED tcc : 2.14.0 apogeeql : trunk+svn158315M -- Other software sdssProcedure : v3_06 APO-local : trunk ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 0.035 0.037 Axial B: -0.021 -0.042 Axial C: -0.019 -0.022 Trans D: 3.21 3.21 Lateral E: 10.7061 10.7188 Lateral F: 12.3063 12.3063 GALILS Commanded: 10850 -450 5750 13050 14750 14300 Actual: 10850 -450 5750 13050 14750 14300 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 651.00 937.40 PrimOrient: 0.00 0.00 0.00 651.08 936.54 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.00 Air temp: 13.7 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -7.061 -7.063 Axial B: -7.121 -7.128 Axial C: -7.031 -7.034 Trans D: -0.18 -0.179 GALILS Commanded: 1581300 1578850 1590700 1400 -2000 Actual: 1581318 1578874 1590673 1400 -2000 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.00 -3.80 0.00 0.00 9.58 SecOrient: 1257.01 -3.80 0.01 0.01 9.44
