---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===---

Post-shutdown Tasks/Tests

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

The night was lost to clouds and humidity.

We reset the nominal MIG values in the mirror numbers to provide a new 
baseline following the home/relax procedure from the other night.

We tested accessing MJCI and MJDD with the aliased 'marvels' in a Terminal 
window and it appears there are connection issues. Nathan was able to get 
things working with a modified host name (marvels-p as opposed to marvels), 
but he will talk to Fritz and Jon about resolving the problem so things are 
back to normal from a procedural point of view.

MARVELS personnel began work on repairing the broken fibers in the fiber link.

Elena M. wrote a script to complete the grid of engineering camera 
observerations called ecamOffsetsTest.

Paul worked on gcameraICC software.

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

Afternoon
=========
Arrived to cloudy skies with threats of precipitation.

We tested opening MJCI and MJDD with Nathan's oversight and there are problems 
getting things to talk properly. Nathan used a different host name (e.g. 
marvels-p) and it worked, but he will talk to Fritz and Jon to resolve the 
problem because as it stands we cannot use the aliased 'marvels' in the 
Terminal to get the proper connections in the MJCI window that pops up.

MARVELS folks were beginning work on repairing the broken fibers along the 
fiber link.

The testActors script only produced the following output:

alerts ping ** FAILED **
alerts status ** FAILED **
apo ping ** FAILED **
apo status ** FAILED **

With actors offline the getVersions script didn't provide many versions.

Night
=====
Checked out the telescope. The telescope moved in all three axes normally. The 
fiducials were still only reading in altitude, but this isn't news and work 
continues on getting all fiducials to read properly. The mirror numbers are 
still not within spec as a result of the homing/relaxing procedure completed 
the other night.

03:00Z - Elena wrote a script to complete the engineering camera grid of 
exposures.

04:10Z - Reset the nominal MIG values in the mirror numbers.

07:49Z - Paul worked on gcameraICC software and got the overscan to work.

07:54Z - Called it a night with the clouds/approaching clouds and humidity still at work.

07:55Z - endNight rejoiced.
