APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday June 18, 2009 (MJD 55001) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Elena Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Overcast for most of night. Completed Marvels calibration tests "Drak" and "Other". Adjusted focus in sp1 blue camera. Observed one exposure for plate 3141, possibole not useful because of clouds. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- All systems are checked and they are OK. Spectro collimation is checked, it was valid for +14 C and we did not change it. Night: ----- 01:20Z - Doors and louvers opened, ventilation on. It is overcast and strong nearby radar return. We did not open on time and are waiting for weather improving. Cart 3 plate 3375 is mounted. Continue last night Marvels calibrations. Run Marvels software, and got PLC failed, could not see the status of lamps, on/off them. Called to Nathan, he reboot PLC agent to fix the problem.

Radar return is moved away from us but we still have overcast and could not see stars. Viktor adjusted focus for sp1 blue camera: sp1>mechPiston -1700 - move to foccus Turned blue camera ring on +12 degrees sp1> mechPiston -874 sp1 is in focus. Both cameras are in focus for 12 C. 08:26Z. It's looks better outside, we opened. Cart 5, plate 3478. Used FK5 to find a guider stars and guess. We did not force fill spectro even the last fill was 10 hours ago, as we wanted to take a chance to observe. 08:55 science 1800 Clouds are in telescope direction, efficiency is below 10%. Exposure is bad, we aborted it and did not do calibration. Cart 6 plate 3141. Used FK5. 09:42Z preCalib 09:51Z science 1800. Clouds, efficiency 0-30%, seeing ~1.2", Seeing is variable during the exposure. S/n for cameras were less then 2, we still keep this exposure. 10:18 morning twi. Cart 3, plate 3375 is mounted for tomorrow. 10:35Z Enclosure is on. 10:40Z endNight ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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 61804, plate -9999 ------- 00:22 61804 0.0 bias ----- sequence 61805, plate 3375 ------- 00:35 61805 10.0 flat 00:37 61806 2.0 arc 00:45 61807 3.0 arc 00:48 61808 3.0 arc ----- sequence 61809, plate -9999 ------- 00:54 61809 0.0 bias ----- sequence 61809, plate 3375 ------- 04:26 61810 3.0 arc 04:29 61811 3.0 arc 05:08 61812 3.0 arc 05:11 61813 3.0 arc 05:39 61814 10.0 flat 05:42 61815 2.0 arc 05:57 61816 3.0 arc 06:00 61817 3.0 arc 06:19 61818 3.0 arc 06:21 61819 3.0 arc 06:33 61820 10.0 flat 06:36 61821 2.0 arc ----- sequence 61822, plate 3141 ------- 09:44 61822 10.0 flat 09:47 61823 2.0 arc 10:23 61824 1800.0 target ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 08:57Z 5 3478 -111.01 -0.0017 44.82 0.0015 102.26 -0.0073 1.000170 09:40Z 6 3141 45.00 -0.0001 55.48 0.0032 216.67 0.0103 1.000200 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 08:58Z 5 3478 1.00017 -1678 -216 -25 -111 44.7 10.6 5 188 -- 1.6" 09:40Z 6 3141 1.00020 -1974 -485 -15 45 55.5 10.9 4 243 -- 1.3" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 00:21Z 57 38 0 201 (SSW) 1369 - 00:51Z 58 30 4 260 (W) 1307 - 01:22Z 57 31 3 226 (SW) 1211 - 01:50Z 56 31 5 191 (S) 1147 - 02:22Z 55 30 6 199 (SSW) 1202 - 02:53Z 55 31 6 184 (S) 1345 - 03:26Z 53 31 2 158 (SSE) 1435 - 03:56Z 52 31 2 163 (SSE) 1685 - 04:30Z 54 31 5 221 (SW) 1510 - 05:02Z 53 31 7 195 (SSW) 1692 - 05:32Z 53 31 8 196 (SSW) 1750 - 06:05Z 53 31 8 181 (S) 1779 - 06:37Z 53 31 4 184 (S) 2069 - 07:09Z 52 31 8 182 (S) 1879 - 07:41Z 51 31 5 182 (S) 1489 - 08:13Z 51 42 8 211 (SSW) 1181 - 08:44Z 50 42 5 186 (S) 1032 - 09:14Z 51 42 3 239 (WSW) 1088 - 09:48Z 51 42 2 250 (WSW) 1084 - 10:21Z 51 42 4 288 (WNW) 1407 - 10:55Z 50 42 8 290 (WNW) 1518 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:20Z Doors and louvers opened, fans on. 08:25Z enclosure off 10:35Z Doors and louvers closed, fans off No interlocks bypassed.
