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

It looks like the DIMM needs to be focused.

We noticed that the 2.5m wind speed was reading -35.9 mph during the night on 
the APO Weather Status page. Also, the dust counter was reading 0 a lot.

We discovered that cart. 8 has the front black panel corresponding to cart. 6 
(labeled as "ET cart. 6"). We noticed this after we mounted 6 on the telescope 
to end the night.

All of the B-pointings had the wrong set of guide fibers X-ed out in the 
guider display.

We had a problem opening the enclosure at sunset with a tripped breaker, but 
resetting it brought things back to normal. We're still unsure as to the root 
cause, however.

There were about half a dozen small telescope jumps during exposures.

The pointing wasn't very good tonight; most of the time that we weren't 
exposing was spent trying to manually find stars. The fiducials for the 
current pointing model were taken about 7C colder than conditions we were 
observing in.

We were unable to observer 3704A (cart. 7) because we found guide stars here 
and there, but when we finally had three stars, the guider was showing error 
vectors in opposite directions and naturally was in a stalemate.

Observed the following:

        cart. 6, 3513B
        cart. 9, 3706B
        cart. 8, 3713A & 3713B
        cart. 4, 3219A & 3219B
        cart. 1, 3711A
        cart. 5, 3714A & B
        cart. 7, 3704B

We found some fibers that need to be checked, they're described in the Log.

Afternoon:
----------
French, Dan, Wendell, Norm and Bob were here until mid-afternoon repairing the 
torn cable from last night. An excerpt from French's apo-daylog:

   "The power cable for the alt Wind Baffle drive motor broke away from its 
hanger - we suspect the cold got to the wire ties - and it fall far enough to 
be caught by az support ring and rip itself out of it junction box and short 
the cable to ground. Luckily the WB amp has a crowbar feature that effectively 
acted as a fuse and no other damage then a severed cable was sustained.
   We repaired the cable and rehung it from its hanger using SS clamps instead 
of wire ties. We ran the telescope through it paces and all clearances are 
good and the telescope is happy once more."

They also changed the burned out flat-field lamp. Thanks guys! Saved me from 
dragging a ladder into a tight space. The rest of afternoon checkout was 
problem-free.

22:20Z - ThAr lamp turned on.

Guider dark and flat taken.

20-second Spectro dark taken

23:32Z - Enclosure ventilation started, doors opened.

Cartridge 6 mounted.

Night:
------
00:01Z - We had a problem opening the enclosure. After the enlcosure had run 
about a foot away from the stop, the power cut out and the high-voltage box on 
the S side of the upper enclosure was reading "Fault." We had checked for 
icicles on the power rails and didn't see anything prior to opening, but we 
checked again and still didn't see any sign of ice. We contacted Dan Long and 
French and both suggested checking the breaker in the lower enclosure on the 
NE side. We saw that the upper enclosure roll-switch was tripped, so we reset 
it and then the enclosure rolled off without a hiccup.

00:48Z - Calibrations.

Swapped the spectro dewar after the fill completed. We wanted to be sure that 
there was enough LN2 for the morning since there was only one fill left in the 
dewar and we were anticipating a lot of plugging, so we thought we'd just get 
it done with.

Cart. 6, 3513B, FIELD1572
************************* 
01:09Z - gotoField. Applied an offset manually (+0.002 in dec.) in order to 
acquire the field.

01:11Z - When the guider was turned on, the wrong set of guide fibers were 
X-ed out. We manually enabled and disabled fibers until the correct set of 
fibers were active. We later noticed this behavior for all B-pointings.

01:17Z - Science.

01:24Z - We saw a drop in flux on the PMT plot and upon subsequently checking 
the guider we saw a small telescope jump. See guider frames 0052-0053.

02:40Z - We noticed another small telescope jump, see guider frames 342-343.

03:11Z - Calibrations.

The fiber corresponding to spectra (057,058) - blue green cyan, needs to be 
checked.

The fibers corresponding to spectra (047,048) - green black orange, (019,020)

broken.

06:17Z - Calibrations.

Cart. 4, 3219B, HD68988
***********************
06:17Z - gotoField. It took us a long time to find guide stars. We just poked 
around with guesses on offsets since the offsets from last night's log didn't 
get us there. The magic combo was finally -0.003 in RA and -0.006 in dec.

06:54Z - Science.

07:45Z - Calibrations.

Cart. 1, 3711A, HD80606
***********************
07:50Z - gotoField. Used -0.004 offset in RA to acquire the field.

08:00Z - Science.

08:51Z - Calibrations.

Cart. 7, 3704A, HD88133
***********************
08:55Z - gotoField. Audrey manually did a spiral pattern in order to find 
stars. We eventually came across a star in fiber 5 that was extremely bright - 
plenty saturated with even 2 sec. No other stars were seen and the guider 
couldn't centroid well on the saturated star, so we tried other offsets. We 
found a star in fiber 11, but no other stars came into view while 11 was 
trying to center up. We went back to the bright star in fiber 5 and then 
played with rotator offsets and found a star in fiber 7. We finally ended up 
with stars in 1, 9, and 11, but the guider would not bring them in; in order 
to bring the stars in required telescope motions in different directions that 
would bring one in and push one out (see, for example, the error vectors in 
guider image 1984).

09:51Z - Calibrations.

Cart. 5, 3714A, 47UMA
*********************
09:55Z - gotoField. Manually found the field by playing with offsets.

Cart. 5, 3714B, HD118203
************************
11:06Z - gotoField. Applied same offset as field A in order to find the field.

11:15Z - Science.

We saw another telescope jump, see guider frame 2431.

12:09Z - Calibrations.

Cart. 7, 3704B, XO-1
********************
12:13Z - gotoField. Audrey used the same offsets as the previous plate since 
the pointing was similar and we managed to find stars.

12:18Z - Science.

We saw another telescope jump at guider frame 2629.

13:11Z - Calibrations.

Please check (115,116) - yellow clear cyan.

13:36Z - endNight rejoiced.
