APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday September 27, 2006 (MJD 54006) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Elena Malanushenko Night: Kaike Pan, Shannon Watters Visitor: Howard Brewington, Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was partly cloudy all night. We started with SN imaging on Strip 82 S (lambda: 113 to 127, including ramps) and then Strip 82 N (lambda: 143 to -123, including ramps). We moved to spectroscopy at the end of the night but by the time we finished the instrument change the clouds had rolled in and we couldn't see the guide stars. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon Checkout: ------------------ 00:40 Z. Clear, some light clouds, almost photometric. T=13.7C, humidity 40%, wind 10 mph, dust less than 300 counts. All systems are checked and work fine. Spectro focus has been adjusted for 11 C. Imager run 6406 is a doc bias, should be named as ignore. Jon Brinkmann replaced ad4 mvme 712 transition module and specMech EPROMs on spectrographs on telescope. French worked with rotator. Howard and Steph is working with Cloud cam. Night: -------- Imaging bias run 6406 should be 'ignore', not 'bias'. 00:40Z On-telescope imager bias under dark conditions. Didn't see any of the 'bars' on dewar 3 that were seen last night. 01:47Z Strip 82 S, SN, Run 6408. Skippy happy from the start. In focus from start. Seeing ~1.5 (some clouds). 01:48Z Lambda=107 021:1Z Ramp started, lambda=113, frame 45 02:19Z Science started, lambda=115, frame 58 03:00Z Science ended, lambda=125, frame 128 03:08Z Ramp ended, lambda=127, frame 141 03:12Z Strip 82 N, SN, Run 6409. Skippy happy from the start. In focus from start. Seeing ~1.0" (some clouds). 03:14Z Lambda=141 03:22Z Ramp started, lambda=143, frame 19 03:30Z Science started, lambda=145, frame 32 04:07Z From Frame ~78 to Frame ~95 skippy found less than 20 stars due to clouds 09:29Z Science ended, lambda=-125, frame 633 09:37Z Ramp ended, lambda=-123, frame 646 Seeing was jumping above 2" sporadically through frames ~150-240, and ~415-520. Skippy found less than 20 stars due to clouds from frames 109-112, 160-166, 180-187, 234-237, 415-436, 441-445, 473-502. 09:39Z We were going to switch back to 82 S to fill a hole from last night but the altitude would have been 45 degrees and we didn't think conditions were good enough at that alt (82 N was done at 55 degrees and it was marginal). We're switching to spectroscopy. 09:58Z Cart 3, plate 2441. GSOGTF but vanished. The clouds have moved in so we're waiting. 11:15Z Doesn't look like we're going to get the chance to get more data so we closed. endNight celebrated ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe
