APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday May 13, 2009 (MJD 54965) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Alaina Shelden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS and SEGUE Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Note: Please remember to leave plateMapper in working condition. :) Also, the lights were on and the shades open. We accumulated about 30,000 dust hours, so the mirror should be checked. Added signal to the following plates: Cart 8 plate 3307 SEGUE current s/n 141.9 Cart 6 plate 3487 A ** Guide fiber 3 appears broken.
