Dembicky Opened the enclosure at 19:20 and started focusing at 19:50. On sky at 20:14 with 1 arc sec seeing. We had a computer glitch(?) tonight that seemed to bog tycho down for about 10 mins. Craig called and said he was paged about it, but it seemed to resolve itself without human intervention. Craig mentioned something about the clock being reset or something. We had excellent seeing around 01:00 when the guider hit 0.64 arc sec and I needed to defocus it a little to keep the guider guiding. Seeing was decent for most of the night with it from 1u per 0.1 cubic feet. TELESCOPE STATUS Primary, secondary, and tertiary mirrors in place and collimated. Primary support system operational. Mirror ventilation system in place. Telescope drives operational. Current Remark version: 2.62. Current guide software version: GIm Ctrlv4.1b2. Current TCC version: 2.5.5 Current MC version: v1_7_3. _______________________________________________ apo-staff@mail.apo.nmsu.edu - On-site APO staff and visitors http://mail.apo.nmsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/apo-staff _______________________________________________ apo-staff@mail.apo.nmsu.edu - On-site APO staff and visitors http://mail.apo.nmsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/apo-staff _______________________________________________ apo-staff@mail.apo.nmsu.edu - On-site APO staff and visitors http://mail.apo.nmsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/apo-staff
