APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday August 21, 2010 (MJD 55430) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko Alaina Shelden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Night was mostly lost to rain, clouds, and high humidity. They also caused us to start 6B late, and so we couldn't get the last field of the night done. Alt fiducial at 45 deg was not reading going up or down. Rot fiducials never read at all. Sos is still down. Weather info stopped updating to log. Only did it once.
