I opened for 2 hours to cloudy sky with poor seeing (2-4"), but only completed 1 design, got one useful exposure on another design. 8 among 9 hours were recorded for weather loss. Didn't have a chance for BOSS dither data. When closed, I completed BOSS Monthly checkout. ---- Automatic Summary ---- Time Field-Design-Conf DesignType BOSS/APOGEE Seeing Overhead Complete?

Robots are exercised and perform well. Day staff replaced teh battery for M1 C actuator, reset themultiplexer, so I take a new set of Nominal MIGs. Tracey updated OS on sdss5-obs1 to the newest version, I updated STUI to the newest version, 1.7.21, and start a STUI session and a MCP-TPM GUI session on the computer to check whether STUI and MCPTPM are still working when STUI and MCPTPM are disconnected.
