        Pre-shakedown part 2

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

Finished spectro monthly checkout. New fiducial tables installed. Mirrors 
homed and M1 relaxed.

On closing I found I had to bring the telescope down to 30 degrees alt two 
degrees at a time, because the telescope kept touching the windbaffle. The 
amps had to be reset and the brake cleared each time. I called Jon so they 
could get a start on the problem early tomorrow. A PR should be filed, but I 
haven't done so, yet. We certainly can't get a pointing model under these 
circumstances. If anyone wants to peruse the murmur log, it happened around 
0530Z. The only messsages I noted were the windbaffle touches. Note that 
earlier in the evening, while slewing up in altitude, the telescope did stop 
once, but only once, for a windbaffle touch.
---=== OBSERVING LOG ===---

New fiducial tables were built and installed. You should be running v1_40 of 
the fiducials (check with iop's fiducialsVersion).

Finished spectro monthly checkout

Three darks taken at night with plate 666 mounted. The histogram hard copy is 
saved to the binder. The percentiles:
