Night: ====== Lots of clouds overhead and radar specks inside of the them. Going to hold off opening for now, but I am ready when (if) they clear out. Unfortunately, the weather never got better. Instead, it actually got worse. It started to actively rain at 05:39Z. 10:35Z - Weather update. Clouds starting to move away, but the humidity spiked to 90 percent. There is not enough time before twilight anyway. Started APOGEE morningcals and turned off the FPS. ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -5.4290 -5.4260 Axial B: -5.0410 -5.0390 Axial C: -5.2830 -5.2780 Trans D: -0.8800 -0.8710 Lateral E: 0.3240 0.3245 Lateral F: 0.5335 0.5335 GALILS Commanded: 11450 -1050 5900 26550 -14400 -13850 Actual: 11450 -1050 5900 26550 -14400 -13850 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 -43.05 -8.77 -751.82 -556.2 PrimOrient: -1.06 -43.05 -8.77 -751.82 -556.2 SECONDARY: ---------- Focus: 0.0000 Air temp: 0.00 Altitude: 30.0 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: -7.9560 -7.9570 Axial B: -6.1110 -6.1140 Axial C: -6.0750 -6.0790 Trans D: 0.2080 0.2050 GALILS Commanded: 364400 386950 344650 -1500 1800 Actual: 321971 350002 299577 -1500 1800 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 257.0 14.2 5.9 -72.0 -12.76 SecOrient: 257.02 14.19 5.87 -71.8 -12.62 ---- Telescope Status ---- No interlocks bypassed Status at: Telescope stowed at: 121.0, 30.0, 0.0 mount Instrument mounted: FPS Counterweights at: 32s LN2 autofill systems: Connected and turned on 180L LN2 dewar scales: SP1 187 lbs, 22.8 psi ---- Software Used ---- Get Versions, 10/18/26, 21:47:04 -- STUI software: STUI : 1.7.21 alerts : 2.3.0 boss : 6.0.5a1 -boss.specMec : 3.0.4 apo : 4.1.0 fliswarm : 0.7.0 jaeger : 1.11.2a1 kaiju : 1.4.1 coordio : 1.18.1 fps_calibrati : 2025.12.04+3e7e2d8 cherno : 1.2.2 astrometrynet : 0.97 hal : 1.4.1 hartmann : 2.0.2 hub : 5.0.1a0 mcp : 2.3.1 -mcp.plc : 35 -mcp.azFiduci : v1_154 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_154 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_154 tcc : 1.4.0 apogee : not availble apogeecal : not availble apogeeql : 2.0.0a0 STUIAdditions : FAILED Boson : 0.6.1 -- done -- --------------Other Versions-------------- sdss-obstools : 3.9.3 TPM : 1.2-31-gd7eb MCP : 2.3.1 PLC : V35 Fiducials : v1_154 idlspec2d : 6.3.0dev Kronos : 2.1.0a roboscheduler : 2.1.0 /dev/sdb1 1.0T 434G 590G 43% /home /dev/sdc1 22T 19T 2.1T 91% /data ---- APOGEE Data Summary ---- (observers39) [observer@sdss5-hub: ~]$ list_ap -m 61331 --morning APOGEE data list, mjd=61331, all raw_data: /data/apogee/utr_cdr/61331/apRaw-*.fits archive: /data/apogee/archive/61331/apR-[a,b,c]-*.apz quickred: /data/apogee/quickred/61331/apq-*.fits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mjd i UT File/Exp Imtype Nread A/B Dth Design-Cfg Arch Offset %Flux/FPI Comm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 61331 41 13:26 57690041 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61331 42 13:36 57690042 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61331 43 13:47 57690043 Dark 60 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61331 44 13:49 57690044 QuarFlat 10 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - 99 61331 45 13:51 57690045 QuarFlat 10 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - 99 61331 46 13:53 57690046 QuarFlat 10 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - 99 61331 47 13:55 57690047 Arc-Thar 12 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c 3.91 103 61331 48 14:02 57690048 Arc-Une 40 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c 3.92 96 61331 49 14:04 57690049 Arc-Thar 12 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c 3.31 103 61331 50 14:12 57690050 Arc-Une 40 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c 3.39 97 61331 51 14:17 57690051 Dark 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61331 52 14:22 57690052 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61331 53 14:28 57690053 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61331 54 14:33 57690054 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61331 55 14:39 57690055 Dark 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61331 56 14:44 57690056 Arc---- 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - 95 FPI A 61331 57 14:50 57690057 Arc---- 30 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - 93 FPI B ---- Time Tracking ---- *=*=*= Observatory: APO *=*=*= MJD: 61332 Fill night time in Hours below *=*=*= Total bright time : 5.2 *=*=*= Bright time, queued observations : 0 *=*=*= Bright time, commissioning/engineering: 0 *=*=*= Bright time lost to weather : 5.2 *=*=*= Bright time lost to technical issues : 0 *=*=*= Total dark time : 5.5 *=*=*= Dark time, queued observations : 0 *=*=*= Dark time, commissioning/engineering : 0 *=*=*= Dark time lost to weather : 5.5 *=*=*= Dark time lost to technical issues : 0 Sun 18 Oct 2026 61332 0.56 01:20 01:34 12:02 20:21 06:51 --- bright until 06:33 ( 5.2 h, w/ 0.2 h for 12 deg design), then dark ( 5.5 h)
