- Files 1117, 1118 ThAr Fiber, few 'counts' (EMAVGSQ = 8) Used PI_LAMPS.vi and turned ON lamp and then got a good lamp, file 1119 with EMAVGSQ = 1609884 'counts'. For the 2 failed the script runs and starts exposure but just 'later' is the lamp turned ON. Apparently there is a delay between shutter and lamp, "fixed" by turning the lamp and then running the script.
- File 1137 'T0204650483' false start, renamed as 'junk'.
- DIMM down 01:46 UT: clear, N wind 22 MPH. Back 03:07 UT. Again down 05:16 - 05:33 UT.
- 03:47 UT Observing HIP077725, a 4.4MI earthquake. Added 10s to compensate tel shake.
- 05:27 UT ctioxb "frozen" (and ctimac3 "slow") ~ 7 minutes to recover.
- 10:30 UT File 1192 ThAr fiber w/few counts renamed as JUNK (in spite of PI_LAMPS.vi), 1193 is OK. Also, in offset movement, tel moved 5' N related to its target final position, so it was needed to resend and then ok (something similar happened yesterday to HD209290.)
- Last integration on 'T0318753380' completed with the Sun at -10.8 degrees of altitude.
