KP Likely FSC Engineering -- else BHM until 02:21 ( 1.0 h), then APOGEE-2 (10.1 h) ---- Observing Summary ---- FSC tests tonight. See log for more details. At the end of the night, the GoTo5 script didn't have a destination typed in, so the telescope moved below 5 degrees, and was stopped at 4 degrees to close. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== 23:00Z: JHU folks and Ryan are working on FSC to see if the camera could be ready for tonight. We are waiting for the decision. 23:30Z: completed all evening checkout items except for BOSS spectrograph because we don't have BHM plates on the telescope. APOGEE evening cal is taken and checked. Things are fine.

Mounted the camera to the telescope. 23:15Z: started ventilation. Night: ====== Rebalanced the telescope with the FSC on. Opened at 2:00Z to clear skies. 3:11Z- Used FK5 star from pointing model procedure to obtain donut with 1 sec exposure. Focus improved to 19 pixels, or about 1.4" Used telescope rotator to check boresight, with images at 4 points 90 degrees from each other. Telescope offsets added to center the star meant that the center of the field changed, so we also did a few test images adding the offsets to the coordinates. Align radial direction with 2 opposite corners of the cartridge and take a reading, also the corners perpendicular Adjusted multiple times Every time the telescope was moved to zenith for adjustment, the communication connection was lost, and it appeared that it rebooted with no further problems. It's finger-sensitive enough to lose power. Focus sweeps, on- and off-axis at 0.5, 1, and 1.4 degrees. 12:22Z-Closed and started APOGEE/BOSS cals. ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -4.9270 -4.9310 Axial B: -4.6610 -4.6660 Axial C: -5.7780 -5.7830 Trans D: -4.4280 -4.4340 Lateral E: 0.3745 0.3745 Lateral F: 0.5715 0.5715 GALILS Commanded: 5850 -4500 14850 28200 25200 24900 Actual: 5850 -4500 14850 28200 25200 24900 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 69.89 100.0 375.3 622.11 PrimOrient: 0.04 69.89 100.0 375.3 622.11 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: 13.17 Altitude: 30.00005840078799 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -9.4510 -9.4550 Axial B: -9.4150 -9.4200 Axial C: -9.5000 -9.4970 Trans D: 0.0420 0.0380 GALILS Commanded: 4628600 4614200 4679550 -2000 -6550 Actual: 4603728 4587369 4632484 -2000 -6550 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 3657.0 -14.01 -2.9 12.5 114.22 SecOrient: 3657.43 -13.71 -2.36 12.43 113.4 ---- Telescope Status ---- 23:15Z Started ventilation 02:00Z encl25m : open 12:22Z encl25m : closed No interlocks bypassed Status at: 12:31Z Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: cartridge = FSC Counterweights at: 537 539 536 537 LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 201 lbs, 22.4 psi ---- Software Used ---- STUI : 1.7.10 alerts : 2.0.1 apo : v1_11 boss : 5.0.1 -boss.specMec : 3.0.4 gcamera : v2_2 guider : 3.8.1 hartmann : 1.8.0 hub : v4.2.4 mcp : 1.12-12-g222b -mcp.plc : 34 -mcp.azFiduci : v1_144 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_144 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_144 platedb : 2.8.0 sop : 4.0.1 tcc : 1.4.0 apogee : not availble apogeecal : not availble apogeeql : v1_7_0dev idlspec2d : v5_7_12 plate-mapper3 : NOCVS:v7_0_7 petunia : git autoscheduler : 1.5.4 sdss_python_module: trunk mangadrp : trunk exported
