71-002 2025-04-09 00:00 Monitoring 100% humidity throughout the night. Could not open. Failed
71-002 2025-04-18 01:30 Monitoring sdssJ130548+244845, sdssJ130550+230841,
sdssJ133918+244619		 ALId180156 - ALId180164, ALId180165 - ALId180173, ALId180181 - ALId180189, ALId180148 - ALId180150, ALId180151 - ALId180155 clear skies, the seeing was around 1.0 and 1.2" We aborted (ctrl+c)a couple of times due to connection issues. The files from ALId180148 to ALId180155 are not usable. For sdssJ133918+244619, despite the target being positioned clearly on the slit, the quickspec looked strange. We are setting the status as completed but let us know if the data is usable. Observed
