APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday November 25, 2009 (MJD 55161) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizyaev Kaike Pan Steph Snedden Support: Jon Brinkmann Vistor: Huoming Shi (LAMOST) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS then BOSS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Observed 7 marvel plates: 3519A (filed K20), 3513A (field K10), 3513B (field1572), 3633A (field GJ176), 3634A (field1110), 3638A (HD46375), plate 3633B (field 1631). 2 BOSS plates: 3633 and 3675. 4 900 s exposures on each under clear sky and 1.5" seeing. Possible marvels broken fibers: cart 9, A side: pair 99/100, 115/116. cart 5, A side: pair 96/96. cart 8, A side: pair 19/20. cart 5, B side: pair 35/36 ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- The guider actor needed a hub startNubs this afternoon. Related to testing? For about two seconds the MCPMenu at the telescope laptop showed as being "unavailable", then bcame available again. Network problem? The U Florida web server was unavailable, which meant Nathan's planning page was also unavailable. The local page on sdsshost2 gave an internal server error. Fortunately we had two other resources; Dmitry had printed out tonight's plan last night, and we found the data file on host 2 for the plan. For future reference, it is at: /home/marvels/public_html/scheduling/plans listed by MJD. Later, Jon fixed the problem on the internal Apache server, so the local MARVELS web pages should now be available. The 45 degree alt fiducial did not read in the upward direction. The 60 degree did. Both read going down. One fiber cover on cartridge 11 was off the cartridge. Retrieved it from the plug lab and put it back on. Spectro focus was given a small adjustment. Details at the end of the log.
