APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday June 12, 2004 (MJD 53169) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Atsuko Nitta (swing) John Barentine Mike Harvanek Visitor: Pete Newman ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Finished 2 plates (1616, 1568); good data on another (1031). Finished 21 S from lambda 21 to 59.6 in mostly good, some acceptable, seeing. Poor seeing and clouds ruined lambda 59.6 to 65. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon =========== Spectro collimation check was carried at the following temp and required no adjustments. tpm_TM_PMSSAvg 14.0029 tpm_TM_TelairAvg.VALA 14.2375 Everything checked out fine. Night ===== Although it is mostly clear at sunset, there are clouds coming from the west so we begin with spectroscopy. Plate 1616 (cartridge 5): Guide stars on the gotoField. This plate was done in 3 exposures (2400 sec total). The clouds in the west have dissipated so we switch to imaging. Run 4673: Bias on the telescope. Run 4674: Attempting 21 S but the seeing has deteriorated somewhat. Son-of-Kent (seeingRun) is calling the seeing acceptable though so we continue. Skippy, focus and seeing all acceptable by frame 11 (lambda 16.3). Begin ramp up at frame 11, lambda 16.3. Begin science at frame 42, lambda 21.0. Seeing improves from acceptable to good at frame 49, lambda 22.1. Seeing degrades from good to acceptable at frame 289, lambda 58.0. Seeing degrades from acceptable to bad at frame 299, lambda 59.6. Light clouds starting around frame 312, lambda 61.5. We end the drift at lambda 65. Clouds and poor seeing so we switch back to spectroscopy. Plate 1568 (cartridge 8): Guide stars on the gotoField. This plate was done in 3 exposures (2520 sec total). Plate 1031 (cartridge 7): Guide stars on the gotoField. We obtained 2 exposures (1800 sec total) before the sky became too bright. endNight is still running. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End
