APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday June 9, 2005 (MJD 53531) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden (swing) Dan Long Atsuko Nitta Support: Craig Loomis Fritz Stauffer Visitors: Jim Gunn (PU) Connie Rockosi (UCO Lick) Gourmands: Bruce Gillespie Gretchen Van Doren Nancy Chanover (NMSU) Jucanne Reynolds David Kuehn David Voelz ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! Special Gourmet Night "We are on a Mission from Gunn!" ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- All night of spectro due to clouds. We finished 3 plates (1712, 1827, 1647). "We are on a Mission from Gunn!" Menu High (altitude) tea: Poppy seeds and currant scones with clotted cream Scottish breakfast and Backingham Palace Party tea Dinner: Mozzarella and Tomato with basil sauce Tabouli with paprika Mushroom pancakes Apple pancakes Crackers with Jupali and artichoke antipasta Grilled Pepper Pork Roast with home made horse radish and veggies Tomato, eggplant and bacon casserole Dessert: Key lime pie Sourdough chocolate fudge cake Individual apple bake (from French who was absent from the Feast) Sumatra coffee ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing shift: =========== No spectro focus adjust needed or made. When I arrived, there were no tapeship or run summaries in my mail inbox, so endNight did not finish normally. I contacted Craig and after some sleuthing, we determined that all the data and logs did get written to tape, so I put the gangs tapes in the appropriate places for shipping/storage and proceeded with afternoon checkout while Craig kept sleuthing. He said that it looks like endNight died at around the time the pgplots for the run summaries are generated. This would fit with Atsuko's X session on Landru freezing. During the DA checkout, I had to reboot the photo crates. See the problems section for the error messages. Fritz replaced the fans in the DIMM computer. The rest of the checkout was uneventful. 02:00Z Open! We have clouds (how shocking). So we start with spectro. Cart 6 Plate 1827 -------------------- guideStars on gotoField as soon as it was dark enough to see them. Seeing is good (at 1.1"). Before twilight is over, we had a toast for Jim and Connie. We would not be here without them. We thank them for their patience and support throughout the SDSS-I. We are glad to have made it to the last dark run. Cart 3 Plate 1712 ------------------ stars on gotoField. We finished in 3x1200s exposures. Cart 9 Plate 1647 ------------------- stars on gotoField. The clouds thickened during the second exposure. We finished this plate with 4 exposures (3x1200 and 1500s). Cart 1 Plate 2210 -------------------- stars on gotoField. But the clouds are so thick that we can barely see the stars with 30s exposures. The efficiency being 7%, we wait. We gave up at 10:00Z (20min before twilight) and closed. endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5411 00:16Z 00:31Z 100 O -28.41 -24.56 40 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 33027, plate -9999 ------- 23:17 33027 0.0 bias ----- sequence 33028, plate 2185 ------- afternoon collimation check. 23:23 33028 10.0 flat 23:25 33029 2.0 arc 23:29 33030 2.1 arc 23:32 33031 2.1 arc ----- sequence 33032, plate -9999 ------- 01:19 33032 0.0 bias ----- sequence 33033, plate 1827 ------- 03:31 33033 10.0 flat 03:33 33034 2.0 arc 03:58 33035 1200.1 target 04:21 33036 1200.1 target ----- sequence 33037, plate 1712 ------- DONE 04:37 33037 10.0 flat 04:39 33038 2.0 arc ----- sequence 33037, plate 1712 ------- 05:03 33039 1200.1 target 05:26 33040 1200.1 target 05:44 33041 900.1 target ----- sequence 33042, plate 1647 ------- DONE 05:58 33042 10.0 flat 06:00 33043 2.0 arc 06:24 33044 1200.1 target 06:52 33045 1200.1 target 07:20 33046 1500.1 target 07:40 33047 1000.1 target 07:43 33048 10.0 flat 07:45 33049 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:12Z 6 1827 33.44 -0.0001 59.45 0.0018 207.67 0.0061 1.000120 04:43Z 3 1712 -7.51 -0.0008 69.25 0.0015 173.43 0.0130 1.000250 07:31Z 9 1647 257.34 0.0039 54.87 0.0029 100.98 0.0222 1.000310 08:10Z 1 2210 -55.32 -0.0005 59.99 0.0013 134.59 -0.0192 1.000110 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL8690 Stays: JL8697 ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:12Z 6 1827 1.00012 -1185 23 -150 33 59.5 14.6 20 246 gdr 1.1 04:44Z 3 1712 1.00025 -2468 -1061 -150 -8 69.2 14.9 14 270 gdr 1.0 07:31Z 9 1647 1.00031 -3060 -1468 -100 257 54.8 13.5 14 266 gdr 1.2 08:10Z 1 2210 1.00011 -1085 153 -100 -55 60.0 13.1 14 266 gdr 1.2 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:01Z 67 13 13 218 (SW) 585 - 23:33Z 65 11 23 265 (W) 532 - 00:03Z 62 11 16 262 (W) 548 - 00:35Z 63 12 14 265 (W) 499 - 01:08Z 62 8 22 265 (W) 546 - 01:40Z 59 8 15 265 (W) 559 - 02:12Z 58 9 12 259 (W) 542 - 03:24Z 59 10 18 248 (WSW) 570 - 03:56Z 58 8 18 257 (WSW) 434 - 04:29Z 58 9 17 252 (WSW) 534 - 05:00Z 58 10 14 263 (W) 547 - 05:31Z 58 11 19 249 (WSW) 546 - 06:01Z 58 11 21 253 (WSW) 466 - 06:33Z 57 12 18 249 (WSW) 450 - 07:05Z 57 8 15 251 (WSW) 481 - 07:36Z 56 10 15 251 (WSW) 527 - 08:06Z 56 11 8 265 (W) 501 - 08:37Z 55 13 13 264 (W) 615 - 09:10Z 54 14 12 265 (W) 608 - 09:42Z 54 15 12 273 (W) 597 - 10:14Z 53 15 11 282 (WNW) 650 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:20Z - Started building ventilation. 02:00Z Open! 10:00Z closed.
