0001 test image with blind filters 1x5.0s

Error moving mask to storage.

Peter online working on LUCI1, so he was able to fix it fast.

### LUCI2 Observing UT 20151102
luci2.20151102.NNNN.fits

0001 1x5.0s dark
test image with blind filters 1x5.0s
0002 1x3.0s dark (for transform check from prev. night)

Error moving mask to storage.
Peter online working on LUCI1,
he was able to fix it fast.

Init all on LUCI2
No restart of scheduler

12 deg twilight @

Recentered N375 field stop on detector
Initial collimation @ AM=1.85, FWHM=
Two odd jumps during collimation, star blew up to ~2"
DGH cleared all active optics and restarted

01:28 Beltran
S875-C_H2.img.xml
12x10.0s each exposure (way too long for a standard)

Guide star not found...there but defocussed again
Going back to initial correction star...

01:37 Beltran
S875-C_H2.img.xml
0003 0007 12x10.0s star has ~413k ADU peak...34k/DIT
No dither between 3 and 4? Others are
FWHM=0.55! 3.5pix on LUCI AM=2.19 @ end
G* elongated on guider, but images on LUCI look round

03:45 NGC34_V2.xml

03:46 another MOS error
called James
Looks to me like initialize will clear error

04:34 James found the spindle resolver "noisy"
reading values from 129 to 132 (should be 131.3)

04:49 canceled preset
Move to zenith, ROT=210
spindle resolver still noisy

04:54 Initializing the MOS
spindle resolver still noisy
Checked LUCI1's spindle resolver and it is stable

05:12 We decided that it is not safe to continue with LUCI2 so
we are switching to LBCs.

Blind filters, N375, no mask, Mirror in the beam.
