SEGUE2 Science

---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===---

The night was lost to clouds and a very small amount of rain. 

We did the MARVELS monthly cals.

We also completed the very-sparse-plugged plate tests. 

The spectro dewar is getting low. 

---=== OBSERVING LOG ===---

Afternoon:
----------

22:50Z Did setup with ARCSAT and notified the observers.

23:00Z Started the afternoon checkout

23:15Z Spectro focus was left unchanged, and looks good for predicted
       temps tonight.

23:20Z  Here is the disk space status
        /dev/sdb1             917G  754G  117G  87% /data
        sdssfiles1p:/data1/data
                             1.5T  609G  784G  44% /files

23:25Z Completed the apo_plotbias; results posted in Prob Section.

23:40Z Start the telescope checkout. 

23:45Z Restarted the servers.

00:10Z Afternoon checkout completed. 

01:56Z Sunset with clouds; we waited.

Night:
------

03:00Z We started the MARVELS monthly cals.

03:32Z Evening twilight

07:45Z Weather conditions had not improved; sky was very cloudy.

07:46Z We started sparse-plugged plate, viz,. Cart 06, plate 3429. 

08:08Z We finished the MARVELS cals.
