The temperature differential from the inside of the enclosure and the outside was ~10C. The secondary mirror limit was reached attempting to focus. The best focus value was around 1100 microns when the encoder status read ~7200000. The guider RMS could not converge under 1" and our seeing was over 5"+. Clouds quickly moved in after one exposure was taken. We remained closed the rest of the night. ---- Automatic Summary ---- Time Field-Design-Conf DesignType BOSS/APOGEE Seeing Overhead Complete?
