APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday August 29, 2007 (MJD 54342) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- dayShift: Howard Brewington Observers: Audrey Simmons Dmitry Bizyaev ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Cloudy, humid night. No objects were really observed. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- The spectro focus was checked and adjusted. It's set for about 14-degrees C. The number are posted in the Problems Section. I deleted a few MJD's from host2, which were posted as "Safe to Remove." The disk space is now: /dev/md6 367G 323G 26G 93% /data sdssfiles1:/data1/data 1.5T 517G 876G 38% /files Watcher is still reporting sp1 as "Not Connected." Other misc Watcher messages are posted in the Problems Section. Night: ----------- Evening in running thin clouds. They cause delay in opening. 02:15Z Opened enclosure Cart. 3 plate 2459 mount GSOGTF 02:37Z Pre-cal 02:52Z Enclosure on: radar return, clouds are running toward us, decided to close. Later - high wind, high humidity, rain. endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6910 23:15Z 23:55Z 100 O 35.66 45.73 74 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 46171, plate -9999 ------- 23:10 46171 0.0 bias ----- sequence 46172, plate 2803 ------- 23:33 46172 10.0 flat 23:35 46173 2.0 arc 23:43 46174 3.0 arc 23:45 46175 3.0 arc ----- sequence 46176, plate -9999 ------- 00:36 46176 0.0 bias 00:39 46177 0.0 bias ----- sequence 46178, plate 2459 ------- 02:39 46178 10.0 flat 02:42 46179 2.0 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10:47Z 3 2459 121.00 -0.0004 30.00 0.0018 0.00 0.0375 1.000100 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10:47Z 3 2459 1.00010 -988 260 -180 121 30.0 10.8 10 82 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:11Z 61 49 5 79 (E) 0 - 22:43Z 61 49 11 71 (ENE) 0 - 23:14Z 60 50 13 64 (ENE) 0 - 23:44Z 60 50 11 101 (E) 0 - 00:14Z 59 50 8 83 (E) 0 - 00:45Z 58 50 5 91 (E) 0 - 01:19Z 57 49 23 70 (ENE) 0 - 01:49Z 57 47 21 75 (ENE) 0 - 02:20Z 56 45 21 74 (ENE) 0 - 02:51Z 56 44 18 74 (ENE) 0 - 03:21Z 55 44 20 76 (ENE) 0 - 03:51Z 56 44 21 73 (ENE) 0 - 04:21Z 55 44 23 70 (ENE) 0 - 04:51Z 55 44 17 83 (E) 0 - 05:21Z 55 45 26 81 (E) 0 - 05:52Z 55 45 20 72 (ENE) 0 - 06:24Z 54 46 32 69 (ENE) 0 - 06:56Z 52 48 21 70 (ENE) 0 - 07:29Z 50 50 25 66 (ENE) 0 - 08:01Z 50 50 19 60 (ENE) 0 - 08:33Z 50 51 15 68 (ENE) 0 - 09:05Z 50 51 12 89 (E) 0 - 09:37Z 50 50 8 87 (E) 0 - 10:09Z 51 50 10 83 (E) 0 - 10:42Z 51 50 9 87 (E) 0 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:00Z Started enclosure ventilation 02:15Z Opened enclosure Cart. 3 plate 2459 mount 02:37Z Pre-cal 02:52Z Enclosure on: radar return, clouds are running toward us, decided to close. 02:52Z Enclosure on, doors and louvers closed, fans off.

No spare light bulb was found in warehouse: there are plenty of them, but not that what we need. It should be 40 W, normal socket (not a mini), but the bulb itself should be mini. monx-mike workstation turned dead. Monitor works, but the system block itself shows no signs of life. Jon replaced the block with a newer one, but it has now 4Mb of memory that doesn't allow to work on it really, just a few applications can be opened. A monitor which shows astrometric chip imaging shows only blue monitor's channel (of all 3 RGB). Jon knows about the problem.
