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

        Continuation of pre-checkout.  Welcome to SDSS II!

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

Homed and relaxed M2, completing the list of tasks we started last night.  
Still cannot get mirror numbers, however.  See Log.

M2 Home/Relax
-------------

We were unable to complete homing and relaxing of the mirrors last night due to 
a communcations problem fixed today by the daystaff.  Telescope is again at 
121,70 for this test.

First iteration gave the position errors for A,B,C as:

-000000039, -000000007, -000000555

The value for actuator C was high so I repeated the home/relax.  This time I 
got:

000000049,  000000012,  000000075

The Procedure on sdsshost says to send all the actuators back to nominal 
zeroes (much like for M1 it says to send actuators to the starting values in 
PrimDesOrient read at the beginning of a slew to 121,70), though Howard tells 
me that they are supposed to be set back to "current" values from a recent 
on-sky night.  Last night I sent the M1 actuators back to nominal commanded 
values from MJD 53536; tonight I am sending the M2 actuators to the commanded 
values from the same night.  A=1619120, B=1604909, C=1528405

We will check collimation, if possible, on Sunday night.

Attempting to get mirror numbers through logTool still doesn't work.  Clicking 
"Mirrors" returns with nothing except an error message in the iop session from 
which logTool was started:

Timed out waiting for the TCC to respond
We are missing:
SecCmdMount
SecActMount
SecOrient
SecFocus
ScaleFac

This is identical to the message we were getting last night.
