APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday September 15, 2007 (MJD 54359) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizaev Shannon Watters ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Stripe 82 ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We imaged SNe Strip 82 N from lambda=133 to lambda=-158 (including ramps) over 3 runs. We had an Az abort during our first run (see log) coupled with a TCC time-out which resulted in a loss of 32 minutes of science. We had another Az abort on the second run and 3 TCC time-outs which resulted in 36 minutes of lost science. We also imaged SNe Strip 82 S from lambda=-171 to lambda=-152.5 (including ramps) when we had to close because of humidity. We had to reboot the astrometric crate during afternoon checkout because of NTP problems and also rebooted SN02 (per Rick Kessler and Fritz Stauffer). See problems for misc. watcher errors. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All systems checked and working. We had to reboot the astrometric crate because of problems with ad4's NTP client. We also rebooted crate SN02 (per Rick Kessler & Fritz Stauffer). Night: ----- 00:47Z Run 6960.
