Done. cart 17, 3812. DONE. We did Kyle's tests on cartridge 10 (see log). Frames numbers for the tests are 122273 and 122274. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- 22:00Z - Ventilation started, doors closed. Telescope checkout completed without problems. Mounted cartridge 13. 22:10Z - Started Kyle's focus test on cartridge 13, plate 4307. The exposures involved are 122222 - 122245. The details of the test were sent as an email to Kyle and are copied at the bottom of the log. 23:15Z - Adjusted WAVEMID tilt on sp1 by a=-200 b=200 c=0 22:26Z - ThAr lamp on 23:31Z - Cartridge 4 mounted. Doors opened. 00:10Z enclosure off. Jon and Howard worked on DIMM and got it to work. Night: ----- 00:40Z we saw a exposure was aborbted in MJCI. We took a bias before take any data. 00:50Z cart 4, plate 3519A, field K20.

After finished the plate, we did kyle's test on cartridge 10. After the last (fifth) exposure reading out, the telescope was at Az=125.37, Atl=72.81, rot=-65.89, then move the telescope with tcc offset arc 0.01, 0.01, 0.01, and keep tracking, take a 15 min exposure. Frame number: 122273 11:05Z: moved the rotator by 90 degree (from -58 to 32 degree), take a 15-min exposure. Frame number: 12274 11:25Z cart 17, plate 3812. GOGTF. We took three exposures on this plate. The last one is bonus because we did not have time to swap cartridge and take exposure.
