As previously instructed, I gently tapped it, but its status did not change. It continues to report as unlatched at the time of this night log. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ========== 23:49:26 BOSS expNum=402452, expTime= 0.0s 23:52:20 BOSS expNum=402453, expTime= 20.0s 23:54:20 BOSS expNum=402454, expTime= 4.0s 23:55:00 BOSS expNum=402455, expTime= 4.0s 23:55:41 sp1.motor.move= -953, -957, -953 23:55:41 Hartmann collimate output sp1: offset: r= -1649 (Out of focus); b= 0.8 (In Focus) sp1: pred. move: spAverageMove= -953 sp1: pred. resid: r= -696, b= -2.2, txt= OK, spTemp = 9.7 23:56:27 BOSS expNum=402456, expTime= 4.0s 23:58:22 BOSS expNum=402457, expTime= 25.0s **************************************************************** 23:59:35 Field-Design-Configuration: -999--999-26943 **************************************************************** filename_bundle=/data/fcam/61206/fimg-fvc1n-0001.fits 00:00:07 jaeger.jaeger 287 fliswarm : 00:00:07 CmdDone: jaeger.jaeger 287 fliswarm talk -c fvc expose 5.0 filename_bundle=/data/fcam/61206/fimg-fvc1n-0002.fits 00:01:31 APO.aoravetz 51 fliswarm : 00:01:31 CmdDone: APO.aoravetz 51 fliswarm talk -n fvc expose 50 00:00:15 FVC Loop fvc_rms= 33.64 fvc_deltarms= 28.58 fvc_filename=/data/fcam/61206/fimg-fvc1n-0001.fits fvc_perc_90= 46.90 fvc_percent_reached= 4.00 fvc iterations= 1 fliswarm talk -c gfa expose --bias --count 10 fliswarm talk -c gfa expose --dark --count 5 5 fliswarm talk -c gfa expose --flat 1 jaeger configuration random --danger jaeger configuration reverse Did not ventilate due to nearby radar. APOGEE collimator was stuck at Limit 1 1 1 1 1 1 after the evening calibration sequence. I reset it with a 'apogee coll init' and followed-up with a few short darks. Night: ====== 01:20Z - Lots of wind and rain on site. 04:20Z - Still many waves of storm clouds. Outside is quite wet from the rain. Gave up. Started APOGEE morningcals and turned off the FPS. ---- Mirror Numbers ---- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A: 0.0090 0.0030 Axial B: -0.0250 -0.0300 Axial C: -0.0210 -0.0280 Trans D: -0.0160 -0.0230 Lateral E: 0.3400 0.3400 Lateral F: 0.5475 0.5475 GALILS Commanded: 8450 -1050 8800 22100 -2000 -1700 Actual: 8450 -1050 8800 22100 -2000 -1700 SETMIR VALUES PrimDesOrient: 0.0 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: -7.6380 -7.6400 Axial B: -7.5290 -7.5350 Axial C: -7.5280 -7.5270 Trans D: 0.1990 0.1960 GALILS Commanded: 2241300 2235900 2234700 -1800 -1700 Actual: 2215754 2225505 2199395 -1800 -1700 SETMIR VALUES SecDesOrient: 1757.0 7.9 1.5 -39.3 35.42 SecOrient: 1756.99 7.85 1.45 -39.92 35.8 ---- Telescope Status ---- 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 135 lbs, 20 psi ---- Software Used ---- Get Versions, 06/14/26, 23:54:26 -- 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 : 1.11.2a1 kaiju : 1.4.1 coordio : 1.18.1 fps_calibrati : 2025.12.04 cherno : 1.2.2 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_153 -mcp.altFiduc : v1_153 -mcp.rotFiduc : v1_153 tcc : 1.4.0 apogee : not availble apogeecal : not availble apogeeql : FAILED -- done -- --------------Other Versions-------------- sdss-obstools : 3.9.3 TPM : 1.2-31-gd7eb MCP : 2.3.1 PLC : V35 Fiducials : v1_153 idlspec2d : v6_2_1 Kronos : 2.1.0a roboscheduler : 2.1.0 /dev/sdb1 2.0T 510G 1.6T 25% /home /dev/sdd1 22T 15T 6.8T 68% /data ---- APOGEE Data Summary ---- (observers39) [observer@sdss5-hub: ~]$ list_ap -m 61205 --morning APOGEE data list, mjd=61205, all raw_data: /data/apogee/utr_cdr/61205/apRaw-*.fits archive: /data/apogee/archive/61205/apR-[a,b,c]-*.apz quickred: /data/apogee/quickred/61205/apq-*.fits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mjd i UT File/Exp Imtype Nread A/B Dth Design-Cfg Arch Offset %Flux/FPI Comm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 61205 11 09:54 56430011 Dark 60 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - - 61205 12 10:05 56430012 Dark 60 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - - 61205 13 10:16 56430013 Dark 60 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - - 61205 14 10:18 56430014 QuarFlat 10 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - 105 61205 15 10:19 56430015 QuarFlat 10 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - 105 61205 16 10:21 56430016 QuarFlat 10 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - 105 61205 17 10:23 56430017 Arc-Thar 12 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c 2.10 103 61205 18 10:31 56430018 Arc-Une 40 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c 2.14 95 61205 19 10:33 56430019 Arc-Thar 12 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c 1.60 100 61205 20 10:40 56430020 Arc-Une 40 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c 1.64 95 61205 21 10:46 56430021 Dark 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61205 22 10:51 56430022 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61205 23 10:56 56430023 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61205 24 11:02 56430024 InteFlat 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61205 25 11:07 56430025 Dark 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - - 61205 26 11:13 56430026 Arc---- 30 A 13.0 ---------- a-b-c - 98 FPI A 61205 27 11:18 56430027 Arc---- 30 B 13.5 ---------- a-b-c - 99 FPI B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Time Tracking ---- *=*=*= Observatory: APO *=*=*= MJD: 61206 Fill night time in Hours below *=*=*= Total bright time : 1.3 *=*=*= Bright time, queued observations : 0 *=*=*= Bright time, commissioning/engineering: 0 *=*=*= Bright time lost to weather : 1.3 *=*=*= Bright time lost to technical issues : 0 *=*=*= Total dark time : 7.0 *=*=*= Dark time, queued observations : 0 *=*=*= Dark time, commissioning/engineering : 0 *=*=*= Dark time lost to weather : 7.0 *=*=*= Dark time lost to technical issues : 0 Sun 14 Jun 2026 61206 0.00 03:16 03:34 10:32 14:05 21:04 --- dark ( 7.0 h) plus 1.3 h for 8 deg design
