We completed ET night program, observerd cartridges 1,2,6,7,8,9. Used auto lift interlock mode and it worked without any problems. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- At afternoon the telescope has been checked and prepared for observations. Photometric, T=10C, wind up to 10mph, dust up to 1K, humidity 25%. Use interlock system in automode. 00:50Z - started ventilation. 01:50Z opened enclosure. 20:30Z. Cart 2, plate 8018. Used FK5 because of it was too bright yet to see the guider stars. One 50 min exposure. 3:40Z Cart 1, plate 8026. Used FK5. One 50 min exposure. T=10.5C, seeing 1.2, alt.56. 10:50Z. Cart 8 plate 8021. Used FK5. One 50 min exposure. T=9.9C. Seeing 1.7, alt=40. By the end of exposure the seeing became 2.5-3.0". 11:50Z Cart 7, plate 8022. FSonGTF. One 50 min exposure.
