Subject: 2.5m obslog 20250403 (SJD 60769) From: doravetz@apo.nmsu.edu Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2025 09:23:32 +0000 (UTC) APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday April 03, 2025 (SJD 60769) ---- Observing Team ---- Dan Oravetz ---- Observing Plan ---- Thu 03 Apr 2025 60769 bright until 07:57 (6.2 h, w/ 0.9 h for 8 deg design), then dark (3.7 h) ---- Observing Summary ---- The night was lost to clouds and snow (at least the wind was finally not a problem tonight). About 1-2" accumulated depending on where the measurement is taken. ---- Software Issues ---- Connecting to LUI from off the private network doesn't work in the way it used to. Dmitry also tried from home and could not connect. This is likely related to the gateway migration. Shane fixed a problem I was having yesterday on the APO network with ssh to gateway, but be on the lookout for some other lingering bugs from the migration. ---- Observing Log ---- ============================================================================ AFTERNOON CHECKOUT ============================================================================ All systems alive and responsive.
