APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday September 29, 2010 (MJD 55469) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Alaina Shelden Kaike Pan (support, platedb) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS and MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Night was clear with good seeing. Please put a trap out for a rat in the enclosure. We noticed that there are some emission lines in the MARVELS spectra. They appear to be going through the normal light path, but we see them where fibers are broken as well as in normal looking fibers. Is this normal? Details in log. Also, there are several broken/dropped fibers for MARVElS that should be checked.
