----  Observing Team ----
Katie Grabowski
Audrey Oravetz
Elena Malanushenko (afternoon checkout)
Anne-Marie Weijmans (MaNGA observer)
---- Observing Summary ----
The night was lost (6.4hrs to eBOSS and 5.2hrs to MaNGA) due to blowing snow and
falling snow/ice chucks off of the enclosure roof.
Notes to engineers:
====================
Mirror numbers for M2 are all zeros.
According to the MCP, the position of the telescope is at 46 degrees when the
telescope is actually parked at stow (30 degrees).

Afternoon:
---------
Hardware, software, actors, plates, guider checked.
Collimation with cart 10.
Two nights ago the collimation was at the border line for adjustment.
Last night we did not open.

Mirror numbers for M2 are all zeros.
Based on last night log and discussion, we can leave them
at the same stage.
Cart 10 was mounted and it is the first cart for observations tonight.
Telescope has been checked.
We cannot read rotator fiducials.
Apogee complained about disc space.
Removed snow from west balcony.
Restarted STUI with b3 version.
23:25Z ventilation
Night
-------
00:00Z - Did not open at sunset due to blowing snow, snow on the roof, and ice
along the rails and in front of the telescope. The cloud camera was opened and
it showed clear skies. We can hope the wind dies down and changes direction
enough for us to open.
Checked several times during the night. The wind gusts did not get below 15mph,
and there was lots of blowing snow, as verified by the cloud camera and the
patio right outside the control building. There was also evidence of snow and
ice falling off of the enclosure during the wind gusts.
11:52Z - I'm sorry. We just cannot safely observe tonight even though the skies
are beautifully clear. We turned everything off and started the cals.
