APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday October 17, 2008 (MJD 54757) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena Malanushenko (swing) Dan Oravetz Stephanie Snedden Nathan De Lee (UF) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Shake Down and MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Completed four pre-selection fields (3027B, 3039A and 3041B, 3041A). Obtained data on the following MARVELS Survey plates: 3056 A and B 3055 A and B 3060 A and B 3060 A again at high airmass (sec z approximately 1.8) Skies were clear; seeing ranged from 1.2 asec FWHM to > 2 asec FWHM. DIMM ran fine all night after we reset the computer's clock. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ===================== All systems are checked and they work properly. Homed and Relaxed E and F mirrow numbers and they are ok now. Spectro adjusted for 8C. Used cart 3 segue for collimation Guder dark are obtained. Night: =========== 23:40Z ventilation started. The DIMM computer's clock was found to be six hours off. It was reset. The DIMM ran without problems all night, so this could have been related to previous nights' problems.
