Night: ====== 07:29Z - Started ventilating when the humidity was safe. Started a fill. 07:50Z - The humidity trended back up... The sky was clear, but I just didn't trust that the humidity was going to stay in the acceptable range much longer. I decided to wait to stop and stop ventilating. 08:14Z - Stopped the cloud camera. It is completely foggy outside. The weather remained untrustworthy the rest of the night. Started APOGEE morningcals and turned off the FPS. ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 0.1010 0.1030 Axial B: -0.0290 -0.0250 Axial C: -0.1780 -0.1740 Trans D: -0.0210 -0.0300 Lateral E: 0.3400 0.3400 Lateral F: 0.5475 0.5470 GALILS Commanded: 8450 -1050 8800 22100 -2000 -1700 Actual: 8450 -1050 8800 22100 -2000 -1700 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 1.06 2.03 16.67 -410.97 -787.67 PrimOrient: 1.06 2.03 16.67 -410.97 -787.67 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: 0.00 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -7.6410 -7.6390 Axial B: -7.5380 -7.5320 Axial C: -7.5280 -7.5280 Trans D: 0.1930 0.1940 GALILS Commanded: 2250800 2251850 2245850 -1750 -1700 Actual: 2215660 2225461 2199345 -1750 -1700 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1757.0 7.9 1.5 -39.3 35.42 SecOrient: 1756.92 7.89 1.47 -39.32 35.19 ---- Telescope Status ---- 07:30Z Started ventilation 07:50Z Stopped ventilation No interlocks bypassed Status at: Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: FPS Counterweights at: 35s LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 170 lbs, 20 psi FPS Status ========== CP10 Loop = 7.57 L/min GFA Loop = 2.31 L/min Supply pressure = 45.3 psi Return pressure = 29.5 psi Chiller Status ============== Set temperarature = 4.0 C Flow = 4.9 Gpm ---- Software Used ---- Get Versions, 01/01/26, 18:48:58 -- STUI software: STUI : 1.7.21 alerts : 2.3.0 boss : 6.0.5a1 -boss.specMec : 3.0.4 apo : 4.1.0 fliswarm : 0.6.0 jaeger : 1.11.0 kaiju : 1.4.1 coordio : 1.18.1 fps_calibrati : 2025.12.04 cherno : 1.1.0 astrometrynet : 0.93 hal : 1.4.1 hartmann : 2.0.2 hub : 5.0.1a0 mcp : 2.3.1 -mcp.plc : 35 -mcp.azFiduci : v1_152 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_152 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_152 tcc : 1.4.0 apogee : not availble apogeecal : not availble apogeeql : v1_7_0dev STUIAdditions : FAILED Boson : 0.5.1 -- done -- --------------Other Versions-------------- sdss-obstools : 3.9.3 TPM : 1.2-31-gd7eb MCP : 2.3.1 PLC : V35 Fiducials : v1_152 idlspec2d : v6_2_1 Kronos : 2.1.0a roboscheduler : 2.1.0 /dev/sdb1 2.0T 485G 1.6T 24% /home /dev/sdd1 22T 16T 5.1T 76% /data ---- APOGEE Data Summary ---- (observers39) [observer@sdss5-hub: ~]$ list_ap -m 61040 --morning APOGEE data list, mjd=61040, all raw_data: /data/apogee/utr_cdr/61040/apRaw-*.fits archive: /data/apogee/archive/61040/apR-[a,b,c]-*.apz quickred: /data/apogee/quickred/61040/apq-*.fits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mjd i UT File/Exp Imtype Nread A/B Dth Design-Cfg Arch Offset %Flux/FPI Comm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 61040 93 13:33 54780093 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c -
