LN2 Situation

Randy

  • 5 out of 6 reward delivered yesterday

  • Good for a few weeks, but should start conserving.

  • ESI will warm after it’s night

  • Warm KCWI after this run? Yes, we can. Though leak has gone away.

  • NIRES? One night later this month. Used Oct 6.

  • Still looking at getting our own device for condensing LN2.

  • Coordinating with other observatories? IRTF, Subaru?

  • DEIMOS has heavy use in dark time in Sept and Oct

  • Not going to re-aluminize anything now

  • See where we are in 1 week at which point, we’ll be allowing KCWI and NIRES to warm. Inventory LN2 then and see what we have.

1:43 PM

K1 Network Problems

Jim/Kyle

  • Can’t reproduce during the day

  • Fallout from switch work done on VM at summit seems like likely culprit

  • Why is it only vm-k1obs? Why is it only K1? May be other undetected problems.

  • What changed on Sunday during the switch work? The temporary router from that work is still showing up in the traffic patterns.

1:52 PM

Pau!
