---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===---


---=== OBSERVING LOG ===---

Completed the home/relax procedure for M1 and M2.  In spite of mig communication faults as reported by Watcher (see problems section), the mirror numbers look good. 

Mike and I took a look at the PT to see if the Dec noise, while slewing, was gone.  During the first slew, we heard the noise but was unable to repeat the problem with additional slews.  We think the noise could be coming from the LN2 hoses sliding through the connector on the fork.  If so, this is not a problem.  I will try to repeat the problem again tomorrow.  

I noticed that the humidity sensor a the 2.5-meter telescope is reading about 50% as compared to the 3.5-meter.  

I also noticed that the bellows pressure on the SDSS camera is reading about 45 when normal is 40. Is this a problem?
