Notes from the 4PM Meeting¶
* Camera and Telescope - No problems. Ready for dome flats. Issue with "Observer" field that had over 100 characters, Problem was that role was included (Observer 1, Observer 2, ...) To avoid this problem use only first name initials.* Last Night - No supernova fields taken, early data cloudy, then dome closed due to clouds. PTC calibrations.
* DESDM & DQ - Data transferred, not yet ingested. Expected to be poor.
* Forecast/Plan for Tonight - Currently fully overcast and forecast calls for more of the same. Plan for DECal run.
- Eric - Obstac 2 teaks implemented, may be installed tomorrow. Examining weather history. Surface temperature of the ocean.
- We will have a call tomorrow with Eric at 4pm.
