However, some MCP processes are still have issues with VME memory issues. One more set of APOGEE internal flat sequence are taken for non-linearity analysis. ---- Observing Log ---- Day: ===== Took another set of APOGEE internal flats for nonlinearity analysis. 60821 1 17:32 52590001 Dark 3 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 2 18:31 52590002 InteFlat 330 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 3 19:29 52590003 InteFlat 330 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 4 20:27 52590004 InteFlat 330 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 5 21:26 52590005 InteFlat 330 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 6 22:24 52590006 InteFlat 330 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 7 22:35 52590007 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 8 22:46 52590008 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 9 22:56 52590009 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 10 23:07 52590010 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 11 23:18 52590011 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 12 23:28 52590012 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 13 23:39 52590013 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 14 23:49 52590014 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 15 00:00 52590015 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 16 00:11 52590016 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 17 00:16 52590017 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 18 00:22 52590018 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 19 00:27 52590019 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 20 00:32 52590020 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 21 00:38 52590021 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 22 00:43 52590022 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 23 00:48 52590023 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 24 00:54 52590024 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 25 00:59 52590025 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 26 01:04 52590026 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 60821 27 01:10 52590027 Dark 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - Afternoon: ======== Took BOSS bias and darks, APOGEE evening cal. Night: ====== Shane, John, Dmitry were on site for the MCP issue. They successful bring MCP back online. Some some process are still not running normally. FFS, lamp status, MTP gang connector positions are unknown.
