APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday September 2, 2010 (MJD 55442) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Dmitry Bizyaev ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- sosActor still does not work: it is running at hub25m but cannot be connected to hub. Ticket already exists: #1001. BOSS cartridge exposed: 4066 (c. 17) - not done yet Then we got a cold front passing with high humidity, strong wind, rain and dust. We got some dust on the mirror (~6000 K), not that much but plese check it. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Atthe STUI checkout we found that mcp is not responding from STUI. StartNubs fixed the problem. Sos actor is not responding. Paul Harding tried to look at this. We tried it then to stop/start from hub25m. It starts nicely. Then, hub startNubs does not help at STUI: 00:41:44 APO.dmbiz 66 hub w text="failed to start nub sos: No module named sos" The following is just in a case (with wrong syntax). 00:41:44 APO.dmbiz 66 hub : 00:41:47 67 hub startNubs sosActor Same result, any way. There is a ticket #1001. Nothing that we can do. We can run collimate by hands, with lose of efficiency. Night: ------ 00: 00:45Z ventilation started. 00:50Z cart. 16 is mounted.
