APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday October 17, 2010 (MJD 55487) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden Audrey Simmons Craig Loomis (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Partly cloudy, becoming mostly cloudy. We lost the last hour of the night due to thick clouds. Observed MARVELS: Cart 3, plate 3630A (broken - 27/28, 63/63, 71/72, 93/94) Cart 4, plate 3519A Cart 4, plate 3519B (broken - 31/32) Cart 1, plate 3703A (broken - 63/64, 105/106) Cart 6, plate 3712A Cart 6, plate 3712B Cart 9, plate 3635A (broken - 19/20, 67/68, 77/78, 87/88) Observed BOSS: Cart 14, plate 4269 Cart 10, plate 3754 We needed to contact Craig because sp2 was unresponsive after taking a bias. The micro spontaneously rebooted itself and in turn, spit out a whole bunch of junk, probably because of the netburner issue. Tickets 475 and 895. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Took a bias and a dark, but sp2 data did not read out on disk and the exposure hung on 'reading out'. Reloading controllers did not work. Tried restarting the BOSS ICC. No help. Contacted Craig. 23:15Z - Turned on THAR lamp. 23:45Z - Started ventilating. Mounted cart 3 for the beginning of the night.
