APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday April 15, 2008 (MJD 54572) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Victor Malanushenko (observer) Elena Malanushenko (observer) Dmitry Bizyaev (dayshift) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We had cirrus and 84% of Moon. We finished two plates: cart 2 plate 2523 cart 4 plate 2531 Obtained some signal on cart 3 plate 2876. We need BY's evaluation of cart 9 plate 2906. This is a segue bright plate. Total time of observation is 11K sec. PT had communication problem durimg last night: "MT_serial:Camera Serial Line: server is not responding (Last packet: 2008-04-16 09:39:57Z) "no reply (CAMCHECK: 2008-04-16 10:09:17Z)" PT stopped to observe every 15-20 min and we had to restart mop session for recovering. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- ntp_check ok iccSoundOff ok imager bias ok spectro bias ok idl> apo_plotbias, 52017 Filename 02% 05% 10% 50% 90% 95% 98% ------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ sdR-b1-00052017.fit -5.9 -3.9 -2.6 2.4 7.3 8.7 10.6 sdR-b2-00052017.fit -8.1 -6.2 -4.3 1.2 7.0 8.6 10.8 sdR-r1-00052017.fit -7.9 -5.7 -4.0 1.0 7.0 8.5 10.7 sdR-r2-00052017.fit -8.4 -6.3 -5.0 1.1 6.6 8.4 10.5 Sp1,Sp2 are collimated for +8C. cartridge 2 is mounted. Ventilation started at 00:00Z (a little later because of "yellow" dust count). Cloud camera was left running from daytime at the evening until it suddenly stopped by itself. Jon was informed and took a look at it. Night: ------ Light Cirrus, 84% Moon, not favorable conditions. 01:30 enclosure is off Cart 3 plate 2876 is mounted. It is segueFaint plate, Moon is 4.3.
