MaNGA lost 11.3 hr to weather. ---- Observing Log ---- ============================================================================ AFTERNOON CHECKOUT ============================================================================ BOSS collimation was checked. 22:29:30 Hartmann collimate output on cart #6 sp1: offset: r= -659 (In Focus); b= -2.2 (In Focus) sp2: offset: r= -315 (In Focus); b= 1.0 (In Focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= 24 sp2: pred. move: spAverageMove= -315 sp1: pred. resid: r= -683, b= -2.1, txt= OK, spTemp = 3.5 sp2: pred. resid: r= 0, b= -0.0, txt= OK, spTemp = 3.9 Guider cart= 6, pl= 7981, side= A (loaded); motorPosition sp1: 19599, 18745, 17035; sp2: 19004, 18759, 18618; Suggest to move B2 blue ring by -3 degrees to get a residual around +1.5. /dev/vda2 7.7G 6.0G 1.4G 82% / tmpfs 3.4G 0 3.4G 0% /dev/shm /dev/vda1 194M 128M 57M 70% /boot /dev/vdb 19G 8.8G 9.1G 49% /exports/hub-local /dev/vdd 688G 524G 164G 77% /home /dev/vdc1 11T 9.4T 1.5T 87% /data APOGEE evening cal data was taken by day staff. I checked and confirmed the data are good. We adjusted b2 a net of -5 degrees on the ring and the b2 residual is now at +2 deg. ============================================================================ NIGHT ============================================================================ 08:30Z - The dewpoint depression has been improving. We force-filled the BOSS cameras and began ventilation while we were waiting for the conditions to stabilize to the extent we could justify opening. The wind gusts are ~27 mph and there has been a fair bit of blowing snow -- there was enough to set off the rain sensor recently. 08:54Z - The humidity had increased again (> 80%), but then bounced back down to ~73% (currently). Still, the wind gusts are too high right now given the blowing snow we see, so we are still in a holding pattern. The roll-up doors are open partially and we are still ventilating. 11:55Z - Still way too much blowing snow (it is even starting to accumulate in areas). Calling it a night. Started morning cals. ---- BOSS Spectrographs Collimation Summary ---- Time Inst r1 b1 move1 b1pred Tsp1 r2 b2 move2 b2pred Tsp2 -------------- ---------------------------- ---------------------------- 00:29 6-7981A -659 -2.2 24 -2.1 3.6 0 0.0 0 -0.0 4.1 00:40 6-7981A -659 -2.2 24 -2.1 3.6 0 0.0 0 -0.0 4.1 00:53 6-7981A -659 -2.2 24 -2.1 3.6 0 -2.0 315 -1.0 4.2 00:57 6-7981A -659 -2.2 24 -2.1 3.6 -315 -1.0 0 -1.0 4.2 01:05 6-7981A -659 -2.2 24 -2.1 3.6 -315 5.9 -1103 2.5 4.2 01:10 6-7981A -329 -2.2 189 -1.6 3.6 631 2.0 0 2.0 4.3 ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -5.333 -5.332 Axial B: -5.034 -5.031 Axial C: -5.274 -5.27 Trans D: -0.578 -0.579 Lateral E: 9.3599 9.3472 Lateral F: 14.5161 14.4907 GALILS Commanded: 11200 -1850 6850 29650 21250 21050 Actual: 11200 -1850 6850 29650 21250 21050 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 -11.37 6.87 375.47 621.12 PrimOrient: 0.0 -11.4 6.58 375.38 620.77 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: -0.2 Altitude: 30.3 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -6.662 -6.661 Axial B: -0.024 -0.023 Axial C: -6.66 -6.661 Trans D: -0.067 -0.07 GALILS Commanded: 1096000 1136300 1120750 -7250 -6550 Actual: 1058718 1101326 1079632 -7250 -6550 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 857.0 2.7 12.75 -38.35 156.51 SecOrient: 856.99 2.64 12.75 -38.43 156.76 ---- Telescope Status ---- Status at: 11:55Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = 6 Counterweights at: 325 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 101 lbs, 21.6 psi SP2 130 lbs, 22.5 psi ---- Software Used ---- --- STUI software --- STUI: 1.7.8 2018-01-17; alerts: trunk+svn66561; apo: trunk; boss: v4_1_2; boss.daq: ** FAILED **; boss.specMech: 3.0.4; gcamera: v2_2; guider: 3.8.1; hub: Tag: v4.2; mcp: 1.7-2-gced8; mcp.plc: 34; mcp.azFiducialVersion: v1_141; mcp.altFiducialVersion: v1_141; mcp.rotFiducialVersion: v1_141; platedb: 2.8.0; sop: 3.12.5; --- Other versions --- idlspec2d : v5_7_12 plate-mapper3 : NOCVS:v6_0_12 petunia : git autoscheduler : 1.3.0 sdss_python_module: trunk mangadrp : trunk exported
