APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday April 17, 2010 (MJD 55304) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Alaina Shelden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Did not open due to clouds and high humidity/fog. Did dithered flats on Cart 14. We saw a ginormous rat in the enclosure today. Can someone please set the rat traps? Cart 15 has some issues. There was a loud bang when we tried to mount it. It should probably be looked at. Dewar is at ~70 lbs. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 01:38Z Checkout went fine. Keeping an eye on the gcamera. Humidity and clouds, so we're going to do some dithered flats. We were going to do a sparse plugged test on Cart 15, but we had trouble getting it on the telescope. First it didn't seem to line up right, and the sp2 slithead wouldn't go into the door. We tried again, and it went in this time, but there were 2bangs from the spectrograph--one very loud. So we put 10 back on with no bangs, then went and got 14. 14 also went on with no problems. Something is up with the sp2 side of 15, can someone please check it out?
