(see Dan Long's sdss-apodaylog on 12/25). Since we will not be able to open, I skipped fiducial cross check tonday. All other regualr afternoon checkout items were checked. The new plugged plate 3637 on cartridge 3 did not show up in the platedb, we issued "makePluggingActive" to have it shows up. During MARVELS run, we have problem to show plugging on cartridge 3 too, is there anything special on this cartridge? No ventilation becaue of ice on the power rails. Night: ------ We have ice on contact rail. Dan Long recommends to stay closed tonight: "In order to prevent possible rail damage, and because the roof is still dripping, I am going to keep the enclosure closed tonight (a Christmas break for the observers!). With another day of sun, and a little luck, tomorrow may clear the snow and ice. We will keep an eye on it, and hopefully be able to do a test opening of the enclosure tomorrow." As a result, we didn't open tonight. 11:36Z endNight finished. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:16Z 25 -1 12 340 (NNW) 547 - 22:48Z 25 0 7 26 (NNE) 355 - 23:20Z 23 -2 8 1 (N) 217 - 23:53Z 23 -1 23 348 (NNW) 371 - 00:33Z 23 -2 17 350 (NNW) 198 - 01:05Z 22 -1 3 339 (NNW) 340 - 01:37Z 22 0 16 340 (NNW) 268 - clear 02:09Z 21 0 4 350 (NNW) 323 - '' 02:41Z 21 0 9 348 (NNW) 274 - '' 03:13Z 20 1 8 338 (NNW) 336 - '' 03:46Z 19 1 8 323 (NW) 243 - '' 04:19Z 19 1 10 334 (NNW) 263 - '' 04:52Z 19 1 12 297 (WNW) 277 - '' 05:25Z 18 2 13 314 (NW) 259 - '' 05:58Z 18 2 13 294 (WNW) 274 - '' 06:31Z 18 2 14 301 (WNW) 269 - '' 07:04Z 18 2 13 300 (WNW) 285 - '' 07:37Z 18 2 14 303 (WNW) 320 - '' 08:10Z 17 2 13 332 (NNW) 333 - '' 08:43Z 19 2 14 297 (WNW) 305 - '' 09:16Z 18 2 15 316 (NW) 314 - '' 09:49Z 18 2 17 308 (NW) 318 - '' 10:21Z 17 2 16 324 (NW) 307 - '' 10:55Z 17 1 16 329 (NNW) 247 - '' 11:27Z 17 2 20 317 (NW) 263 - '' ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- No interlocks bypassed.
