APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday March 2, 2005 (MJD 53432) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Howard Brewington Night: Steph Snedden Dan Long ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We finished two plates tonight (2 1973, 9 1946) both survey. Another three got useful signal (3, 2074, 1 1980, 6 1984). The scrolling display for the spectrographs froze twice (once in the afternoon and once at the start of the night). Since data was unaffected, we left it the second time it happened. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing: =============== Afternoon checkout went well; except, Watcher reported that ad4 had the wrong number of pixels; see Problem Section for Watcher messages. I checked the spectro focus but did not adjust it. The spectro focus numbers are in the Problems Section. As Steph did a specto bias, Watcher reported a VME problem. We rebooted the spectro crate and put the ptvme tests results in the Problems Section. There was some weirdness with logging into the TCC with ssh from host. It kept saying permission denied. Logging in from other computers worked. Craig looked into it for a bit, then said "Wait 15 minutes and try again. It should work then." It did! Night: =============== 01:05Z Enclosure Open 01:29Z Cartridge 3 2074 seguefaint105 22.4 13.8 25.5 17.6 Would have been guide stars on slew if it were dark enough to see them. 01:54Z spectro server died. Restarted 01:55Z Clouds too thick. Guider efficiency under 25%. 02:14Z Clouds thinning some. Starting preCalib 02:18Z Left spectro scrolling display (cameras 1 and 4) went blue for a second time tonight when reading the preCal. The right display still shows an image but it doesn't update. The data are reaching disk OK, so we are proceeding, leaving the scrolling displays as is. 02:21Z First science 31113 02:23Z Twilight Took two science exposures. Higher priority survey plate became available, so we switched. 03:06Z instChange 03:11Z Cartridge 9 1946 chunk85 21.0 20.0 23.3 16.1 Guide stars on slew 03:28Z First science 31117 Done in three exposures 04:21Z instChange 04:26Z Cartridge 2 1973 chunk85 19.2 17.6 20.3 15.7 Guide stars on slew Skies nearly clear at the moment 04:39Z First science 31122 Seeing still excellent, with several fibers bottomed out at 0.98" Done in three relatively short exposures. 05:22Z instChange 05:25Z Cartridge 1 1980 chunk100 22.6 11.8 29.5 20.5 Guide stars on slew More clouds again, but seeing still good. 05:37Z First science 31127 Efficiency dropping below 50% on third exposure due to thickening clouds. Got threes in 1500s. Need 4th exposure. r1 fell short of the S/N cutoff on 31132. Need 5th exposure, but it's not getting it right now. Cartridge change made before we saw how little signal there was. 07:19Z instChange 07:22Z Cartridge 6 1984 chunk100 7.2 4.6 8.8 4.6 Guide stars on slew, and 2m57s cartridge change to boot! 07:35Z First science 31135 Second exposure (31136) fell short due to clouds/moon We wait for thinner clouds 08:45Z The're a little thinner... But not thin enough. Third exposure attempt (31137) also bad. More waiting. 10:00Z It is now completely opaque. Closing, leaving ventilation running. 11:45Z Still cloudy. We decided to call it a night. 12:06Z endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5170 22:39Z 23:07Z 100 O -150.09 -143.16 50 ignore ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n):y QA Procedures Done (y/n):y UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 31101, plate -9999 ------- 22:38 31101 0.0 bias ----- sequence 31102, plate 1668 ------- 23:29 31102 10.0 flat 23:31 31103 2.0 arc 23:35 31104 2.1 arc 23:38 31105 2.1 arc ----- sequence 31106, plate -9999 ------- 00:32 31106 0.0 bias 00:41 31107 0.0 bias 00:45 31109 0.0 bias 01:02 31110 0.0 bias ----- sequence 31110, plate 2074 ------- 22.4 13.8 25.5 17.6 02:16 31111 10.0 flat 02:18 31112 2.0 arc 02:42 31113 1200.1 target 03:05 31114 1200.1 target ----- sequence 31115, plate 1946 ------- 21.0 20.0 23.3 16.1 Done 03:21 31115 10.0 flat 03:24 31116 2.0 arc 03:50 31117 1200.1 target 04:04 31118 600.1 target 04:20 31119 720.1 target ----- sequence 31120, plate 1973 ------- 19.2 17.6 20.3 15.7 Done 04:34 31120 10.0 flat 04:37 31121 2.0 arc 04:52 31122 720.1 target 05:07 31123 720.1 target 05:20 31124 600.1 target ----- sequence 31125, plate 1980 ------- 22.6 11.8 29.5 20.5 05:32 31125 10.0 flat 05:34 31126 2.0 arc 05:54 31127 900.1 target 06:12 31128 900.1 target 06:40 31129 1500.1 target 06:43 31130 10.0 flat 06:45 31131 2.0 arc 07:17 31132 1500.1 target ----- sequence 31133, plate 1984 ------- 7.2 4.6 8.8 4.6 07:30 31133 10.0 flat 07:33 31134 2.0 arc 07:57 31135 1200.1 target 08:22 31136 1200.1 target Bad - low S/N 09:07 31137 1200.1 target Bad - low S/N ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:59Z 3 2074 69.88 0.0008 58.61 0.0030 236.12 0.0100 1.000100 03:31Z 9 1946 98.30 -0.0009 56.88 0.0039 256.80 0.0073 1.000220 04:44Z 2 1973 108.09 -0.0009 63.75 0.0039 -90.43 0.0073 1.000150 05:38Z 1 1980 114.35 -0.0009 65.74 0.0037 -83.10 0.0030 1.000190 07:40Z 6 1984 122.48 -0.0018 73.57 0.0034 -68.53 0.0081 1.000040 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL8344 Stays: JL8345 ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:59Z 3 2074 1.00010 -988 439 100 70 58.6 1.6 2 344 - 1.2 03:31Z 9 1946 1.00022 -2171 -537 100 98 56.8 1.0 5 269 - 1.0 04:44Z 2 1973 1.00015 -1480 43 125 108 63.7 1.0 8 273 - 1.0 05:38Z 1 1980 1.00019 -1875 -289 125 114 65.7 1.0 5 268 - 1.2 07:36Z 6 1984 1.00004 -395 850 50 122 72.9 1.2 9 260 - 1.1 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:32Z 37 8 1 4 (N) 506 - Mostly Clear 23:36Z 36 1 8 337 (NNW) 399 - Mostly Clear 00:09Z 36 5 9 277 (W) 379 - Mostly Clear 00:41Z 34 6 5 352 (NNW) 379 - Partly Cloudy 01:13Z 33 9 8 336 (NNW) 348 - Partly Cloudy 01:46Z 34 8 5 340 (NNW) 336 - Partly Cloudy 02:16Z 34 4 5 356 (NNW) 319 - Partly Cloudy 02:48Z 34 4 8 316 (NW) 378 - Mostly Clear 03:21Z 34 6 8 282 (WNW) 336 - Mostly Clear 03:51Z 33 11 7 283 (WNW) 301 - Mostly Clear 04:21Z 33 14 6 269 (W) 289 - Mostly Clear 04:54Z 33 15 8 272 (W) 249 - Mostly Clear 05:26Z 33 15 7 266 (W) 253 - Mostly Clear 05:56Z 33 12 8 253 (WSW) 253 - Mostly Clear 06:26Z 34 17 9 264 (W) 314 - Partly Cloudy 06:58Z 33 17 8 262 (W) 340 - Mostly Cloudy 07:31Z 34 17 8 257 (WSW) 443 - Partly Cloudy 08:02Z 34 17 7 263 (W) 458 - Mostly Cloudy 08:35Z 33 17 11 229 (SW) 449 - Mostly Cloudy 09:07Z 33 17 9 223 (SW) 398 - Mostly Cloudy 09:40Z 34 15 12 240 (WSW) 388 - Mostly Cloudy 10:12Z 32 17 11 221 (SW) 368 - Cloudy 10:44Z 32 17 9 219 (SW) 414 - Cloudy 11:16Z 32 20 14 215 (SW) 460 - Cloudy 11:49Z 32 20 11 218 (SW) 485 - Mostly Cloudy ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:50Z Doors Open, Fans On 01:05Z Enclosure Open 10:00Z Enclosure Closed, Doors Cracked, Fans On 11:50Z Enclosure Closed, Fans Off Stowed at 30 deg alt, cartridge 6 installed.
