See problem section for log messages. Using new test version of guider actor v1_0_19. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All actors, systems, and the telescope were checked. No problem to report. Boss spectro collimation was checked with cartridge 13 and 10. Cartridge 10 was mounted for the beginning of tonight. 23:15Z started ventilation. Night: ------ 01:03Z - Opened enclosure to mostly clear skies. Filled the spectrographs. 01:08Z - Spectro bias got stuck on prereading.
