Telescope Operator: David Gonzalez

SUMMARY:

Weather at opening is very good.  No clouds with a light haze on the
horizon as in previous days, humidity at dome opening comparable to
previous nights at ~10%.

Initial seeing is (again) very good at 0.7".  Humidity increased ~20%
over the course of the evening, whereas seeing was at 1.3" by nights,
peaking at ~1.5" at its worst.

Telescope configured for MODS1 

Details: All times are UTC unless otherwise indicated

Programs succesfully observed as follows: 
MODS:
ND_LRGCGM (LRG1111+5547), OSU_AGN14 (PG1244, NGC4051,NGC5548), OSU_VOID
(VGS30A,38A, 34A), OSU_VOID (VGS51A) was ~90% completed, but elevation
limit reached at end of night


TIMELINE 

03:00   Start acquisition first target, Standard GD153.  

03:14 	Acquired Standard (Guider Loop Failure delayed acquisition,
	T.O. corrected)

03:27   Began science observations on Standard GD153 (Seeing at 0.73; sky mu=18)

04:01   Acquiring on ND_LRGCGM Target:1111+5547

04:15 	Acquired, beginning science exposures on ND_LRGCGM (1111).
	Seeing a 0.9".  LRG target is centered in slit; slit will
	include QSO+LRG target, though QSO is not centered in slit due
	to slit PA

04:52   Acquiring on new science target OSU_AGN14 (PG1244)

05:03   Acquired, beginning science exposures on OSU_AGN14
	(PG1244). Seeing at 1.0", airmass requirement met

05:32   Acquiring on new science target OSU_AGN14 (NGC4051)

05:43   Acquired, beginning science exposure on OSU_AGN14
        (NGC4051). Seeing at 1.2". Humidity has risen 10% over previous 2h.

06:12 	Acquiring on new science target OSU_AGN14 (NGC 5548).  Delay as
	left primary panicked during slew (loss of ~10 minutes)

06:30 	Acquired, beginning science exposure on OSU_AGN14 (NGC4051).
	Seeing at 0.8".

07:02   Acquiring on new science target OSU_VOID (VGS30A)

07:11 	Acquired, beginning science exposure on OSU_VOID (VGS30A).
	Seeing at ~1.4"

07:55 	Acquiring new target OSU_VOID (VGS38A, with *HA0_HA3.acq)

08:07   Originally, acquisition script VGS38A_HA0_HA3.acq was submitted.
	The HA of this target prefers PA defined in
	VGS38A_HA2_HA5.acq. Initial acquisition script was cancelled
	mid-slew (CTRL-c).  Slew was allowed to continue to position
	and then VGS38A_HA2_HA5.acq was submitted.  Sequence of
	acquisition exposures were taken, but did not appear initially
	to write out (sequence ID # 0042, 0043).  An additional by
	hand exposure through the slit on the target field was taken,
	but also not written to /newdata.  But, issuing the "Update"
	command on the MODS1 Dashboard (lower left corner) seeemed to
	refresh the writeout cycle.  Re-acquisition after update
	successful. 


08:16   Acquired, beginning science exposures of OSU_VOID (VGS38A) seeing at 1.2" 

08:54   Acquiring new target OSU_VOID (VGS34A) (PA as defined by HA2_HA5.acq) 

09:05   Acquired, beginning science exposures of OSU_VOID (VGS34A) seeing at 1.2" 

09:53   Acquiring new target OSU_VOID (VGS51A) 

09:59   Acquired, beginning science exposures of OSU_VOID (VGS51A) seeing at 1.5"

10:28 	Had to stop final exposure with 200s remaining on 3rd (final)
      	frame for target VGS51A.  We had breached an elevation limit at 24
      	degrees.

10:32   Acquiring standard star BD282411, mirror panic due to elevation
	breach, reset and re- acquiring

10:47   Acquired BD282411, acquiring dual grating calibrations

11:02   Finished all science observations 

11:25 	Submitted calibrations grlamps.cal, grflats.cal, grpixflats.cal, slitflat.cal; observers to bed shortly after
