APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday July 2, 2007 (MJD 54284) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Justin Crepp Suvrath Mahadevan Support: Jon Brinkman (by phone) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- ET Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The most of night was lost to clouds and high speed wind. We was able to open at 08:25Z, get 50-min exposure on both cart. # 2 and 9. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ------------ When I started watcher, a error message was thraw out: can't read "rtData(daData,archState,id4)": no such element in array. I figured this might related to photo2's off (due to fans problem). Jon was called to confirm this is expected error when photo2 is down. other than this, everything is okay. Night: ------ 08:00Z Sky started to clear up with a soccer hole. But there was a lot of extenction, plus 25 mph wind from the east, we decided to swapped cartridge, #2 --> #9, and to fill spectrograph dewars in the enclosure, waiting 20 min to see if the soccer hole getting bigger. 08:25Z enclosure off. 08:35Z cart 9, plate 8028. FK5 used for the guiding stars. 08:45Z started 50 min exposure. 09:40Z cart 2, plate 8032. FK5 used for the guiding stars. 09:50Z stared a 50 min exposure. Ww fought again clouds for photons. 11:15Z endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 45590, plate -9999 ------- 01:34 45590 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 08:49Z 9 8028 227.77 -0.0002 68.66 0.0040 62.01 0.0108 1.000200 09:53Z 2 8032 27.37 -0.0012 74.68 0.0063 204.08 0.0475 1.000150 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:46Z 2 0 1.00000 0 1157 0 121 30.0 19.6 19 30 08:49Z 9 8028 1.00020 -1975 -561 -60 228 68.6 16.4 15 74 - 2.2-3.0 09:53Z 2 8032 1.00015 -1481 -182 -80 27 74.7 18.4 7 2 - 2.0 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 01:08Z 66 29 10 23 (NNE) 572 - overcast 01:39Z 67 31 19 33 (NNE) 720 - 02:11Z 66 36 24 35 (NE) 744 - 02:43Z 60 39 38 44 (NE) 739 - 03:13Z 58 39 36 54 (NE) 732 - 03:43Z 58 38 29 52 (NE) 498 - 04:15Z 59 37 28 67 (ENE) 339 - 04:48Z 63 33 16 28 (NNE) 467 - 05:20Z 61 33 18 69 (ENE) 429 - 05:52Z 65 29 15 66 (ENE) 462 - 06:23Z 68 25 9 22 (NNE) 514 - overcast 06:56Z 65 30 17 67 (ENE) 486 - overcast 07:29Z 63 31 21 69 (ENE) 497 - cloudy 08:01Z 62 33 21 64 (ENE) 429 - partly cloudy 08:31Z 61 34 24 62 (ENE) 441 - 09:02Z 62 33 23 61 (ENE) 445 - 09:32Z 64 30 19 61 (ENE) 396 - 10:04Z 63 30 7 354 (NNW) 430 - 10:35Z 63 28 15 47 (NE) 402 - partly cloudy ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 02:25Z - Began ventilation.
