Moving telescope and focus did not help. Since there were works on connected equipment today, I decided to home the secondary mirror. 23:25Z started homing M2. Homing finished, mirror numbers checked, the problem still remains: M2/A is off the nominal. MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -0.001 -0.734 Axial B: -0.73 -0.736 Axial C: -0.733 -0.733 Trans D: 0 0 Dan Long emailed us later that we should just re-save the Nominal MIG numbers. Nominal MIG values were re-saved. 22:50Z ventilation started, doors and louvers opened. Note to APOGEE evening calibrations: JH needed a tes in the afternoon, so the gang connector was moved to the 1-m port. Calibration files 1 - 10 were taken with the 1-m port. G.c. moved to the dense-pack port and normal calibrations are done starting with the frame 18090011. 00:21Z - Stopped ventilating. Lots of dust in the basin and high wind (45mph). Shoveled a path to the cloud camera, but it is frozen shut. It is unlikely we will open tonight, but if we do we can get the heat gun out. Night: ------ Closed all night for wind, snow and humidity. ---- Telescope Status ---- No interlocks bypassed Status at:11:42Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 10 Counterweights at: 443 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 161.8 lbs, 14.3 psi SP2 192.0 lbs, 17.3 psi ---- Software Used ---- STUI : 1.7.1b3 alerts : trunk+svn149374 apo : trunk+svn158476M boss : v4_0 -boss.specMec : 3.0.4 gcamera : v2_1 guider : v3_3 hartmann : v1_4_3 hub : Tag: sdss4_v3_0 mcp : v6_6_18 -mcp.plc : 31 -mcp.azFiduci : v1_119 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_119 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_119 platedb : v2_3 sop : v3_4 tcc : 1.2.2 apogee : not availble apogeecal : not availble apogeeql : v1_6_1 APO-local : trunk Setting up: idlspec2d Flavor: Linux64 Version: v5_7_12 Setting up: |elodie Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_3 Setting up: |spinspect Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |specflat Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_20 Setting up: |speclog Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |platelist Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: |sdss_python_module Flavor: Linux64 Version: v1_6_7 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 Setting up: |photolog Flavor: Linux64 Version: trunk Setting up: actorcore Flavor: Linux64 Version: v4_0 Setting up: |opscore Flavor: Linux64 Version: v2_4 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: 3.6.9 ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000; MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -0.129 -0.126 Axial B: 0.108 0.109 Axial C: -0.033 -0.031 Trans D: -1.352 -1.358 Lateral E: 10.9855 10.9728 Lateral F: 12.6111 12.6111 GALILS Commanded: 11500 -1200 5850 19600 24150 23900 Actual: 11500 -1200 5850 19600 24150 23900 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 -24.21 6.52 356.1 1323.0 PrimOrient: 0.0 -24.31 6.14 356.65 1322.6 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: 1 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -0.001 -0.734 Axial B: -0.73 -0.736 Axial C: -0.733 -0.733 Trans D: 0 0 GALILS Commanded: 1613350 1567750 1570050 -1700 -8100 Actual: 1613306 1567737 1570049 -1700 -8100 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.0 4.35 -15.05 25.0 111.05 SecOrient: 1256.96 4.36 -15.04 24.7 110.63
