APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday June 23, 2008 (MJD 54641) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Howard Brewington Dan Oravetz (swing) Steph Snedden (support) Jon Brinkmann (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to clouds and rain. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- When I came in I was told the guiderMac was rebooted, so I reset the instrument block to spectro with `set inst=spectro' in TCC. When I tried a `gcam 5' from SOP after setting the instrument block to spectro, though, I received the same error that we were getting yesterday (the error is reproduced in the Problems section word-for-word). Another reboot of the guiderMac actually worked this time and the guider images were updating correctly. sdsshost2.apo.nmsu.edu % df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 127G 7.6G 95% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 693G 178G 80% /data sdssfiles1:/data1/data 1.5T 599G 794G 44% /files During the spectro collimation, SoS was reporting some red values and the displays in the control room showed flats that were over-saturated, so I went down to the enclosure and found the lights had been turned on. I turned them off and tried again. I ran collimate for both cartridge 3 and cartridge 4 to see if the large b1 wsigma value is independent of the cartridge. The collimate output is in the Problems section. When both cartridge 3 and cartridge 4 were in focus according to collimate, SoS still reported yellow wsigma values in the post-cal arcs for b1. Cartridge 3 is mounted. Spectro collimation is set for ~15C (sp1) and ~14C (sp2).
