APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday December 2, 2010 (MJD 55533) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Dmitry Bizyaev Kaike Pan (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Test cartridge 18 in twilight. Then BOSS science. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- A "model" SDSS-III night: seeing ~ 1", clear sky, ALL plates plugged (8) were finished from scratch. Kaike performed tests with spectro colimation via Hartmans on all cartridges. See results in the log. We tested cart. 18 , Craig and Paul took a watch. No glitches, we could get stars in the field, guide, auto focus, so it looks like a normal cartridge. Also Kaike tested it with hartmanns, looks OK. We'll request plugging it for today. LN2 system needs an attention form day crew. Today, again, in auto mode it filled only ~5 lbs. Then we repeated filling in manual mode until spewing, and each spectrograph got ~ 25 lbs. BOSS plates exposed: 14 4359 - DONE 10 4359 - DONE 11 4355 - DONE 12 4422 - DONE with extra signal 13 4459 - DONE 15 4460 - DONE 16 3809 - DONE 17 3825 - DONE gcameraICC failed once this night, around 10:02Z, see log. We got the critical alert on SP2 secondary ln2 dewar again, as yesterday. Note that in the evening we DID fill the dewars manually, and wait until the spitting. Please check the SP2 secondary dewar! ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All actors and systems were checked, no problem to report. Calalibs were taken on cart 14, and 18. We mounted cart 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, and 18, checked collimations on different cartridges, below are results.

But the focus is within tolenrance, we are running out of time. So, we decided to leave as it is. Kaike will take more data on the rest of cartridges and make adjustment. 22:25Z started ventilation. Night: ------ 23:40Z cart 18 is mounted. 23:52Z dome opened. 23:55Z Jon B.: DIMM is back to operations, I fixed it. DIMM opened. We test acquisition of cart. 18 and guiding. Guide stars coming to field OK (with offset applied manually, 0.002 in DEC). 00:45Z cart. 14 plate 4359 is mounted. No GS. Offset 0., 0.002 applied. Got stars.
