Kaike and Norm removed snow on paths to 2.5m encloure and dorms. We tried to mounted spare plugged plate (cartridge 12). We found that it is extreme hard to push the Linda cart because snows in the ground, and there is some blowing snow. We decided to postpone the test to later, maybe tomorrow night. Night: -------- 00:00Z It was strong snow blowing. We did not start ventilation and could not open. 07:00Z Around midnight the sky was cleared, but wind was up to 35 mph eityh strong snowblowing. We cleared up our walkways to telescope, around observing building and to dorms. Unfortunatly, by the time we finished the ways were with snow again. The telescope systems were shut down. endNight was finished. Howard need to reboot imager crate otherwise endNight did not go through. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:33Z 19 16 13 264 (W) 574 - Snow, clouds, wind 23:06Z 19 15 12 304 (NW) 1626 - humidity 01:02Z 19 15 20 311 (NW) 2362 - 01:35Z 19 15 8 333 (NNW) 2759 - 02:07Z 19 15 8 329 (NNW) 3196 - 02:41Z 19 15 13 357 (NNW) 1674 - 03:13Z 19 15 17 319 (NW) 2306 - 03:46Z 19 15 1 201 (SSW) 1375 - 04:19Z 19 15 21 337 (NNW) 1253 - 04:52Z 18 14 16 357 (NNW) 657 - 05:25Z 17 13 18 36 (NE) 894 - 05:58Z 17 13 9 31 (NNE) 1728 - 06:31Z 17 13 21 17 (NNE) 784 - 07:04Z 19 15 21 18 (NNE) 1072 - 07:37Z 20 16 14 13 (NNE) 685 - 08:10Z 20 17 24 36 (NE) 384 - 08:43Z 20 17 24 29 (NNE) 454 - 09:16Z 20 17 25 20 (NNE) 335 - 09:49Z 21 17 24 10 (N) 1196 - 10:22Z 21 17 14 3 (N) 4664 - 10:54Z 21 17 2 9 (N) 9115 - 11:26Z 20 17 17 20 (NNE) 5757 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- We did not opened last night.
