Entire night lost due to high humidity and nearby radar returns. APOGEE lost 5.3 hours and eBOSS lost 4.7 hours. Notes to day staff and developers: ================================== * The brake was on in the manipulator arm and we could not bend the hinge to pick up/maneuver a cartridge. The manipulator arm is making a buzzing noise. We checked the air pressure, and it was at 50. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon =========== High humidity, low cumulus clouds. Telescope has been checked,all systems work properly. 23:30:25 APOGEE evening cals Mirror numbers: one number was out of spec Lateral F: 13.3096 13.2588 I have compared current value with the same one from previous nights, and it was the same.

Dust counter does not work at APO weather page, and in STUI also as not messages sent to hub. Night ========= 02:18Z Mounted Cart 8 for non-linearity test. We cannot do this test on the blue cameras because we project that the exposure time will be on the order 1 hour to get to saturation level on the blue chip. We project the full non-linearity test for the blue camera may take about 10 hours to complete. The following test is being done on r2. 02:22:50 boss exposure 100.0, file=250692, C counts = 15000 max 02:27:14 boss exposure 300.0, file=250693, C counts = 42000 max 02:34:35 boss exposure 450.0, file=250694, C counts = 62000 max Saturation is approached around 400s. We are taking 10 exposures with time step of 30sec and end at the 400sec (saturation). Recorded the collimator positions.

Still at high humidity. 11:17Z Started morning eBOSS and APOGEE cals. ---- Mirror Numbers ---- one number is out of spec Lateral F: 13.3096 13.2588 ===== PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000; MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 0.063 0.064 Axial B: 0.795 0.798 Axial C: -0.054 -0.051 Trans D: -1.232 -1.229 Lateral E: 9.1694 9.1694 Lateral F: 13.3096 13.2588 GALILS Commanded: 9400 -500 7300 5850 5650 5750 Actual: 9400 -500 7300 5850 5650 5750 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 15.8 -1.5 -84.3 -865.5 PrimOrient: 0.0 15.95 -1.32 -84.83 -863.99 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: 11.8 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -3.202 -3.2 Axial B: -3.226 -3.224 Axial C: -3.246 -3.246 Trans D: -0.374 -0.38 GALILS Commanded: -3218600 -3207900 -3184000 -250 -12850 Actual: -3218624 -3207865 -3184035 -250 -12850 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: -2543.0 -9.49 5.15 100.0 145.31 SecOrient: -2543.0 -9.47 5.14 100.24 145.07 ---- Telescope Status ---- Never opened.
