                            Friday December 31, 2010

                                  (MJD 55562)

---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===---

        Alaina Shelden
        Dan Oravetz 
        Steph Snedden (afternoon)

---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===---

        Science!

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

The night was lost to clouds, humidity, wind, and cold temperatures.

We tried to trigger the arc lamp issue reported in previous nights' logs, but 
the lamps turned on as commanded. It seems the afternoon reseating helped.

Steph's laptop and the laptop at the telescope could not connect to STUI. We 
also noticed that things like commanding a loadCartridge take ~15 sec. longer 
than it used to.

gcamera continues to run colder than nominal.

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

Afternoon:
---------
The afternoon checkout was truncated by weather conditions. High humidity and 
blowing snow kept us from ventilating the enclosure.

Steph's laptop could not connect to STUI again. Neither could the laptop at 
the telescope. Furthermore, it now takes about fifteen seconds to do a 
"loadCart" from STUI and ssh'ing to any other computer takes longer than it 
used to. Fritz and/or Jon, could you please look into these problems? They are 
new since Fritz's work on the network.

Alaina did hartmanns, bias, dark, flat and arc. B1 was out of spec. and was 
adjusted. The requested move was -13 deg. We went about 70 degrees beyond that 
and brought it back with a positive move to the required position. Subsequent 
hartmanns showed b1 in spec. This is symptomatic of backlash.

Gcamera continues to run colder than nominal. Paul, do you have any news about 
this?

Night:
-----
The night was lost to periods of clouds, blowing snow, high winds, humidity 
and cold temperatures.

We tried to trigger the arc lamp issue reported lately, but the lamps came on 
as requested.

11:32Z - Called it quits. -15.2C. Shut everything down.
11:34Z - endNight finished.
