APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday November 21, 2010 (MJD 55522) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- All MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Mostly clear skies, variable seeing, hight winds, and some humidity. Viktor's stui crashed during the last exposure of the night at about 12:00Z We lost one 50-minute MARVELS exposure on Cart 09, plate 3519B to operator error. See log. We also lost about ten minutes on Cart 04, plate 3078A because the scope went to field B, which was below the horizon. So, the scope hit an alt limit. See log. For the past two nights with the high winds, we've had a problem with pedal #3 of the FFS moving into a undetermined state, which shuts off the guider. So, we had to bypass the FFS via the SOP GUI. We watched the wind move this pedal about 90-degrees from the open position. Pedal #3 needs some attention and/or adjustment.

We had very poor seeing (i.e., 2 to 2.5") with this field and got very low PMT counts of ~8. When we looked at the image, however, there was zero signal for field. It turned out that Viktor made a mistake while loading the new cart/field; consequently, the scope did not move to the new field, but the gang connector did move to port B.
