APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday April 19, 2010 (MJD 55306) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Open the enclosure, do science. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Skunked by high humidity. Never opened. Did dithered flats for cartridges 11 and 17. But 11 needs to be redone with longer flat exposure times. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- In the afternoon, Kaike checked focus on cartridge 16. It was stable, as it was the same as last night. Night: ----- Precip kept us from opening as well as from mounting a cartridge for dithered flats. 07:02Z - Still humid, but we felt it was safe to move a cartridge from the bay to the telescope for dithered flats 07:33Z - Cartridge 11, plate 3786 dithered flats.
