---- Observing Summary ----

The night was lost to the ongoing working on the telescope. The humidity was over 90% the entire night, we would not be able to open anyway. 

---- Observing Log ----

Afternoon:
=========
BOSS collimation was checked, no adjustment made.

APOGEEcal actor responses to ping, but the command "apogeecal allOff" returns an error "apogeecal f errorMessage='Controller not available' ". Restarting apogeecal actor fixed the issue. 

BOSS cal, APOGEE evening cal are taken, checked.
