APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday October 13, 2005 (MJD 53657) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: John Barentine Viktor Malanushenko Kaike Pan Night: Jurek Krzesinski Support: Ben Dilday ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- SN team will have to decide about the data quality, but here is what was done tonight: stripe 82,S: 113 -> 133 incl. ramps, bad seeing, clouds+ moon Tail of 82,S: -148 -> -123 incl. ramps, bad seeing, photometric+ moon Tail of 82,N: -164.4 -> -123 incl. ramps, bad seeing at the beginning improving with time, photometric + moon & no moon Tail of 82,S: -138.4 -> -123 incl. ramps, good seeing, photometric + no moon see the log for details. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon --------- No trouble today during checkout. Specro focus numbers are in the Problems section. On advice from Kurt and Eric, we are rolling back to astroDa v15_4 and IOP v4_5_0. Night ----- 01:30Z imager mounted on the telescope. Then bias on the telescope was taken, while waiting for the weather to stabilise. run 5727 bias on the telescope. run 5728 stripe 82,S: Ramp starts at frame 20, lambda 113. in focus at frame 26, but the seeing is bad ~3"+clouds. Skippy is happy. After 87 frames I decided to stop the drift. The site is overcast. Data declared bad. 03:52Z I backed off to the beginning of the stripe and started it all over again. run 5729 stripe 82,S again. Frame 13, lambda 113 beginning of the ramp. seeing ~3", in focus on frame 24 (the focus change was ~50 from frame 13 to 24, but at that seeing conditions it didn't improve anything), skippy is happy. Science starts at frame 26 lambda 115. 05:03Z The sky is clearing out (frame 128, lambda 130). The seeing is still bad. Frame 148 lambda 133 end of the ramp. 05:15Z High humidity - closing the telescope. Photometric weather starts from here. ------------------------------------- 06:07Z Enclosure off. run 5730 Tail of 82 S: frame 12, lambda -148, beginning of the ramp. skippy is ok. seeing ~2.8" variable. Sciene frames:25 -> 165, lambda: -146 -> -125. Frame 179, lambda -123 end of the ramp. run 5731 Tail of 82 N: frame 10 lambda -164.4 start of the ramp. Science: frame 23 -> 272 lambda -162.4 -> -125. Frame 285 lambda -123 end of the ramp. Seeing ~2.8" variable, improving with time, skippy ok. run 5732 Again the tail of 82 S, this time in better seeing condition: Ramp starts at frame 10 lambda -138.4. Science from frame 23 -> 99, lambda -136.4 -> -125. Frame 113 lambda -123 end of the ramp. Seeing ~1.7", skippy is happy. endNight, spooling for run 5731 done. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame
