APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday September 5, 2007 (MJD 54349) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Day: Kaike Pan Night: Dmitry Bizyaev, Steph Snedden Support: Jon Brinkmann ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The Valve of SP2 slithhead door would NOT close when the door was closed from instrument control box. French was notified and already has a replacement valve on his desk. Hello, Henriette! We never opened because of clouds, then humidity, then rain. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- The valve of SP2 slithhead door would NOT close when the door was closed from instrument change control box (we could hear air escaping). We tried three times, it is repeatable. However,when the door was closed from MCP, the valve closed. No other problem to report. night: ------ Cloudy at sunset, and rain from the remnants of Henriette approached. Spectro monthly checkout biases and darks were done. biases: frames 46220 - 46245 darks: frames 46246 - 46249 Bias percentiles: Filename 02% 05% 10% 50% 90% 95% 98% ------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ sdR-b1-00046229.fit -5.5 -4.4 -2.3 1.9 7.2 8.8 10.3 sdR-b1-00046229.fit -5.5 -4.4 -2.3 1.9 7.2 8.8 10.3 sdR-b2-00046229.fit -8.3 -6.7 -4.5 0.7 6.9 9.3 10.6 sdR-b2-00046229.fit -8.3 -6.7 -4.5 0.7 6.9 9.3 10.6 sdR-r1-00046229.fit -7.3 -5.5 -4.3 1.0 6.5 7.7 9.8 sdR-r1-00046229.fit -7.3 -5.5 -4.3 1.0 6.5 7.7 9.8 sdR-r2-00046229.fit -8.1 -6.2 -4.9 1.1 6.4 7.7 9.8 sdR-r2-00046229.fit -8.1 -6.2 -4.9 1.1 6.4 7.7 9.8 Dark percentiles: Filename 02% 05% 10% 50% 90% 95% 98% ------------------- ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ sdR-b1-00046248.fit -2.6 -1.0 0.7 6.2 11.7 13.9 16.1 sdR-b1-00046248.fit -2.6 -1.0 0.7 6.2 11.7 13.9 16.1 sdR-b2-00046248.fit -4.7 -2.7 -0.9 5.4 12.1 14.2 16.7 sdR-b2-00046248.fit -4.7 -2.7 -0.9 5.4 12.1 14.2 16.7 sdR-r1-00046248.fit -4.7 -3.5 -1.4 4.5 10.6 12.7 14.9 sdR-r1-00046248.fit -4.7 -3.5 -1.4 4.5 10.6 12.7 14.9 sdR-r2-00046248.fit -5.4 -3.3 -2.2 4.1 10.4 12.5 15.6 sdR-r2-00046248.fit -5.4 -3.3 -2.2 4.1 10.4 12.5 15.6 endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6935 23:43Z 00:07Z 100 O 49.58 55.67 55 ignore 6936 01:53Z 02:19Z 100 O 82.24 88.75 57 bias ---=== 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 46218, plate -9999 ------- 23:46 46218 0.0 bias ----- sequence 46220, plate 2679 ------- 03:03 46220 0.0 bias monthly spectro bias check 03:06 46221 0.0 bias ' 03:08 46222 0.0 bias ' 03:10 46223 0.0 bias ' 03:13 46224 0.0 bias ' 03:15 46225 0.0 bias ' 03:17 46226 0.0 bias ' 03:19 46227 0.0 bias ' 03:22 46228 0.0 bias ' 03:24 46229 0.0 bias ' 03:26 46230 0.0 bias ' 03:29 46231 0.0 bias ' 03:31 46232 0.0 bias ' 03:33 46233 0.0 bias ' 03:35 46234 0.0 bias ' 03:38 46235 0.0 bias ' 03:40 46236 0.0 bias ' 03:42 46237 0.0 bias ' 03:44 46238 0.0 bias ' 03:47 46239 0.0 bias ' 03:49 46240 0.0 bias ' 03:51 46241 0.0 bias ' 03:53 46242 0.0 bias ' 03:56 46243 0.0 bias ' 03:58 46244 0.0 bias ' 04:00 46245 0.0 bias ' 04:21 46246 0.0 dark monthly dark check 04:43 46247 0.0 dark ' 05:01 46248 0.0 dark ' 05:19 46249 0.0 dark ' ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:20Z 66 41 11 257 (WSW) 0 - cloudy 22:52Z 67 40 8 233 (SW) 0 - ' 23:24Z 67 42 8 193 (SSW) 0 - ' 23:57Z 63 39 6 218 (SW) 0 - ' 00:27Z 61 41 8 195 (SSW) 0 - ' 01:01Z 60 40 8 206 (SSW) 0 - ' 01:33Z 59 41 7 185 (S) 0 - ' 02:13Z 60 39 6 185 (S) 0 - ' 02:50Z 60 40 10 179 (S) 0 - ' 03:22Z 60 41 15 197 (SSW) 0 - ' 03:54Z 60 41 9 169 (S) 0 - ' 04:26Z 60 43 8 186 (S) 0 - ' 04:58Z 59 42 14 183 (S) 0 - ' 05:30Z 58 41 11 183 (S) 0 - ' 06:03Z 58 42 11 181 (S) 0 - ' 06:35Z 56 45 10 181 (S) 0 - ' 07:07Z 56 47 16 197 (SSW) 0 - ' 07:39Z 57 47 7 180 (S) 0 - ' 08:11Z 56 47 14 188 (S) 0 - ' 08:44Z 55 48 18 207 (SSW) 0 - ' 09:16Z 55 48 14 195 (SSW) 0 - ' 09:48Z 54 49 10 198 (SSW) 0 - ' 10:20Z 53 50 13 201 (SSW) 0 - ' ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:35Z Opened louvers, cracked doors, turned on fans. 07:30Z Enclosure on, doors closed, fans and blowers off, louvers closed. 10:41ZTelescope stowed at 30 degrees with cart 4 mounted.
