APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday December 11, 2006 (MJD 54081) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Howard Brewington (dayShift) Dan Long (Observer) Shannon Watters (Observer) Dan Oravetz (SDSS candidate) ---=== Plan ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Afternoon: As reported in yesterday's log, I noticed that the hatch door to the 2.5-meter's lower enclosure was difficult to close; it seemed to be sticking on the northeast corner. Also as yesterday, we are still getting the Watcher message about sp1, viz., spec1,mechanicalSystem,notConected. Yet, spectro1 seems to working normally. Night: Photometric skies but the seeing wasn't good enough for imaging. Finished plate 2570 (cart 5) and acquired signal on 4 other plates. Guider fiber 11 was still 'blank' on our display for all the carts except cart 4. Dan looked at the display in simple mode and thinks that the fiber is so close to the edge of the chip that the software cannot create an overlay for it. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- The afternoon checkout went well. But as yesterday, we are still getting a watcher error message: spec1,mechanicalSystem,notConected. Also as reported yesterday, the northeast corner of the hatch to the 2.5-meter enclosure is sticking and needs some attention. The spectro focus/collimation was checked and adjusted; the collimation results are posted in the Problems Section. The spectros are set for about -3C. Night: ---------- 0155Z Cart 9, plate 2325, seguefaint127. Previous S/N=24.2. Needed 2 gflats. NGSOGTF, 0.002 degree offset in altitude. T=-4.7C, relfocus=300, seeing ~2.5".
