APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday December 5, 2005 (MJD 53710) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Mike Harvanek Night: Jon Barentine Dan Long Et Al: Kaike Pan Viktor Malanushenko Elena Malanushenko Steph Snedden Visitors: Jim Gunn Gil Esquerdo Bill Boroski Alan Uomoto Craig Loomis Connie Rockosi ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- A clear night with good seeing. We did spectroscopy for the first three hours until moonset. We finished three plates ( 2 2307, 4 2310, and 8 2327 ). We then imaged the rest of the night. Run 5933 86 N -165.6 to -149.4 (the hole) Run 5934 1300 N 39.4 to 81 (some SEGUE) Run 5935 18 S -66 to -20.4 (some Legacy) ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Spectro collimation was not adjusted. A postCal showed all x/wsigma values to be in the black. The spectrographs are currently collimated for a temp of approximately -5 degrees C. No problems to report. Night: ------ 00:00Z Enclosure Open Cartridge 4 2310 SEGUE 20.7 16.4 15.5 24.4 Done Like last night the focus started out considerably higher than one expects given the temperature. Seeing is better than last night. Good enough in fact that if it stays that way and stays clear we may be able to switch to imaging once the moon goes down. 01:07Z preCalib 01:24Z Twilight First science 35248 Done in three exposures 900, 1200, 1500 02:28Z instChange 02:32Z Cartridge 8 2327 SEGUEfaint 14.4 11.3 14.3 10.9 54.9 47.5 54.2 44.3 53709 ------------------- 69.3 58.8 68.5 55.2 Done Guide stars on slew 02:39Z preCalib 02:46Z First science (and hopefully last) 35255 Got plenty of signal to finish this plate. 03:14Z instChange 03:19Z Cartridge 2 2307 SEGUE 13.0 47.9 38.9 14.0 Done Guide stars on slew 03:26Z preCalib 03:32Z First science 35258 04:47Z instChange Moon is down, sky is clear, seeing is good.

SeeingRun temporarily downgrades it to acceptable from frame 158, lambda -43.7 to 174, -41.3, then changes it all back to good when the seeing settles back down. Rotator error continues to climb in skippy. The run began with about .02 deg, and with just over an hour to go it has climbed above .03 degrees. By this time the elevation had climbed well over 70 degrees which may explain the rather large error. 12:11Z End of science (start of rampdown) Frame 296, lambda -23 12:22Z End of run Frame 313,
