APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday May 4, 2010 (MJD 55321) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Dmitry Bizyaev Craig Loomis (on site) Kyle Dawson (on site) Matt David ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science oll night long ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clear photometric night. Good seeing. Moon after 01:19Z, wind and worse seeing after ~ 2 Z. BOSS plates exposed: 3975 (c. 14) this plate is DONE 3844 (c. 12) this plate is DONE 4004 (c. 11) this plate is DONE 3971 (c. 10) not done 4010 (c. 15) not done 3941 (c. 17) this plate is DONE 3935 (c. 16) not done Rotator got stuck during one authomatic sop gotoField move, it didn't interrupt the consequent telescope auto-slew operations. Craig filed PR#813. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Systems checked, worked OK Cart 14 is put on telescope We didn't do collimation in the enclosure, decided to do it when telescope is in the field (well before the 18 deg twilight). Night: ------ 00:40Z ventilation started 01:53Z enclosure off 02:20Z goto field with sop gotoField command, cart. 14 plate 3975 Telescope send to the field in robotic mode, everything worked ok, including sos analyzing of hartmans and moving pistons. Then we checked blue ring position after move (with a regular sop hartmann command). seeing ~ 1.2" 62 02:55 b1-00114514 14 3975 arc Lef 4.8 40537 41142 41173 HART 63 02:56 b1-00114515 14 3975 arc Rig 4.8 40537 41142 41173 HART 64 02:57 b1-00114516 14 3975 arc Out 4.8 41039 41645 41676 65 02:59 b1-00114517 14 3975 fla Out 30.8 41039 41645 41676 66 03:05 b1-00114518 14 3975 sci Out 900.8 41039 41645 41676 67 03:22 b1-00114519 14 3975 fla Out 30.8 41039 41645 41676 68 03:26 b1-00114520 14 3975 arc Out 4.8 41039 41645 41676 ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55308 1.2 7.0 1.5 6.2 900.8 15.9 3975-55308-01 55308 0.9 3.6 1.1 3.8 900.8 9.4 3975-55308-01 55308 1.4 7.0 1.7 6.9 900.8 17.0 3975-55308-01 55308 1.5 6.6 1.8 7.3 900.8 17.2 3975-55308-01 55308 1.4 6.2 1.6 6.5 900.8 15.7 3975-55308-01 55320 3.8 9.5 4.7 12.0 900.8 30.0 3975-55308-01 55321 3.1 10.0 4.3 9.1 900.8 26.5 3975-55308-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ 13.3 49.9 16.7 51.8 6305.6 --> 131.7 ------------------------------------------------------------ This plate is done. - 03:31Z cart. 12 plate 3844 is mounted gotoField in auto mode.
