DOS is not reducing images. motorPosition sp1: 6857, 6954, 6887; sp2: 24510, 23647, 24874; ---------- Median spectrographs temperatures: Tsp1= 8.8, Tsp2= 8.0; Outside air temperature= 6.3; 21:57:23 Hartmann collimate output on cart #3 sp1: offset: r=-1979 (Out of focus); b=3.8 (In Focus) sp2: offset: r=-946 (In Focus); b=5.7 (Out of focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= -1600 sp2: pred. move: spAverageMove= -1387 sp1: pred. spResiduals: r=-379, b=-1.2, txt=OK, spTemp = 8.9 sp2: pred. spResiduals: r=441, b=1.4, txt=OK, spTemp = 8.1 Checked enclosure. Cart 3 is mounted on telescope. Delayed ventilation due to radar and humidity. Night ===== Opening delayed due to clouds and some intermittent precipitation. 02:00Z - Began ventilation. 03:00Z - Ventilation stopped due to increasing humidity. Eventually the skies cleared, but the humidity remained >90% the remainder of the night. Called it a night, turned things off, and started morning calibration sequences. ---- Telescope Status ---- Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 3 Counterweights at: 438 438 438 438 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 221.10 lbs, 18.75 psi SP2 228.80 lbs, 19.01 psi ---- Software Used ---- -- STUI software -- STUI : 1.6.0b2 alerts : trunk+svn149374 apo : trunk+svn158476 boss : v3_5 -boss.daq : 1.3.2 -boss.specMec : 3.0.4 gcamera : v2_0 guider : v3_1 hartmann : branch_updating_constants+svn159329 hub : Tag: sdss4_v3_0 mcp : v6_6_18 -mcp.plc : 31 -mcp.azFiduci : v1_114 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_114 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_114 platedb : v2_3 sop : v2_18_2 tcc : 1.0.8 apogee : not availble apogeecal : not availble apogeeql : v1_5_9 -- Other software -- sdssProcedure : v3_06 APO-local : trunk idlspec2d (sos3) --- v5_7_9 plate-mapper3 ------ NOCVS:v6_0_2 ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000; MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 0.031 0.032 Axial B: -0.003 -0.026 Axial C: -0.023 -0.024 Trans D: -0.016 -0.014 Lateral E: 10.7061 10.7061 Lateral F: 12.319 12.3063 GALILS Commanded: 10850 -450 5750 13050 14750 14300 Actual: 10850 -450 5750 13050 14750 14300 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 0.0 0.0 651.0 937.4 PrimOrient: -0.0 -0.0 0.0 651.08 936.55 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: 5.8 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -7.059 -7.065 Axial B: -7.111 -7.121 Axial C: -7.024 -7.028 Trans D: -0.185 -0.188 GALILS Commanded: 1573500 1567600 1585100 1400 -2000 Actual: 1580373 1578175 1590383 1400 -2000 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1257.0 -3.8 0.0 0.0 9.58 SecOrient: 1256.49 -3.97 0.11 0.07 9.54
