APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday September 3, 2009 (MJD 55078) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizyaev Elena Malanushenko Paul HArding (magician) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We did not open last night because of overcast and rain. Worked with guider operational instruction and guider orientation of field. At midnight, the site power supply has been switched to generator for an hour. We are leaving the spectro dewar with 92 lbs, which is still good for the next morning filling. It needs to be replaced after that. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Clouds, overcast, rain nearby. Checked: imager bias, disk space, telescope, mirr numbers, all works properly. ad1 display does not work. Error message in watcher, we do not know how to carry about it. dsc E flushFail Frame Pool Directory flushing to disk failed (%s) (dsc_E_flushFail Frame Pool Directory flushing to disk failed (%s) : 2009-09-04 00:42:36Z) 01:05Z started ventilation. It is overcast and we wait for weather improvement. 05:47Z electricity power switched to generator. 05:50Z - stopped ventilation. 05:57Z - rain sinsor and some rain outside 05:58Z - cloud camera closed. We are working with guider software and instruction for operation with guider orientation. 09:00Z by this time we swithched to utility again. 04:00Z telescope is off. 04:01Z endNight is finished. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8021 00:26Z 00:46Z 100 O 58.83 63.84 47 ignore ---=== 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 ---=== 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 22:33Z 54 38 4 180 (S) 574 - 23:05Z 57 39 9 135 (SE) 1002 - 23:37Z 57 40 6 102 (ESE) 1260 - 00:10Z 58 41 7 91 (E) 1333 - 00:42Z 57 41 9 89 (E) 1548 - 01:14Z 56 42 8 87 (E) 1756 - 01:46Z 57 41 11 83 (E) 2058 - 02:18Z 56 41 14 78 (ENE) 2217 - 02:50Z 57 40 10 78 (ENE) 2151 - 03:23Z 56 42 14 72 (ENE) 2471 - 03:55Z 56 42 18 73 (ENE) 2698 - 04:27Z 55 41 18 74 (ENE) 2298 - 04:59Z 55 41 15 74 (ENE) 2512 - 05:31Z 55 40 17 73 (ENE) 2364 - 06:03Z 55 41 14 58 (ENE) 2281 - 06:36Z 55 39 3 75 (ENE) 2164 - 07:08Z 55 39 6 336 (NNW) 624 - 07:40Z 53 41 2 289 (WNW) 1163 - 08:12Z 53 42 4 265 (W) 1809 - 08:44Z 53 42 0 215 (SW) 1626 - 09:16Z 53 41 2 349 (NNW) 1644 - 09:48Z 52 42 6 19 (NNE) 1689 - 10:21Z 52 41 6 23 (NNE) 1404 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:05Z - Began ventilation.
