The moon set at 05:04Z, so we considered imaging the east end of 85 S (which extends to lambda -140), which was the only available BOSS imaging. We calculated that we would have started at an altitude of 28 degrees at that time. If we pushed it back about 10 minutes, we would have started at an altitude of 30 degrees with the moon still somewhat above the horizon at which time we figured we could be adjusting the focus and checking skippy in time for the ramp to start exactly at moonset. Everything would have had to work just right to time everything and still be at an acceptable altitude. The cloud cam showed photometric skies, but the satellite showed clouds in the northern half of NM moving SE and clouds moving E across the southern border of NM. We were not confident that we would have photometric skies or good seeing over the next few hours under these conditions, so we decided to stay with spectroscopy and finish plates. 05:07Z - postCalibs. 05:16Z - Science. 1320s. 54831 7.9 3.1 9.7 7.0 1800.0 27.7 54831 8.4 3.3 9.9 7.5 1800.0 29.1 54831 7.6 3.6 9.7 7.3 1801.0 28.2 54831 6.1 3.2 8.5 6.6 1800.0 24.4 54833 6.9 2.9 9.1 7.3 1800.0 26.2 54833 7.2 3.0 9.0 7.4 1800.0 26.6 54833 4.9 2.7 6.4 6.1 1320.0 20.1 Total: 49.0 21.8 62.3 49.2 12121.0 --> 182.3 Total when ALL b,r values > 2.0: 49.0 21.8 62.3 49.2 12121.0 --> 182.3 (limit=156.5) This plate is DONE.

Aborted. 08:03Z - The guider stopped updating. We tried stopping and starting it a few times and that didn't work. We tried a `gcam doread' in TCC and that was accepted fine as if things were happy. When we tried stopping and starting the guider, the GCTimer in tccMon would only count up once, and then it stopped. Howard aborted the exposure and restarted his SOP session.
