APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday March 2, 2009 (MJD 54893) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Steph Snedden Kaike Pan (swing) Jon Brinkmann (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SEGUE Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Dan, the sp2 blue power supply 10V CCD went wonky again. That's twice, so warrants replacement and bench testing. The following SEGUE plates were observed: Cartridge 3, plate 3209 - Good signal, but not done Cartridge 7, plate 3227 - Done Cartridge 9, plate 3252 - Done Cartridge 2, plate 3245 - Good signal, but not done ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Rebooted sdsshost2. Removed data for mjd 54870 to 54878. All systems were checked and working properly. 23:55Z started ventilation and mounted cartridge 3. Night: ------ 00:55Z - Opened enclosure 01:27Z - Cartridge 3, plate 3209 - SEGUE Dec08a ----------------------------------------------- GSOGTF.

First guider frame - 686 10:13Z - We got a critical alert about sp2 not responding. It was the 10VCCD on the blue camera PS again. A power cycle brought it back, but this is the second time this has happened in two days. The problem needs to be looked into, please. We took three 1800s exposures, but the plate is not yet done.
