APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday January 3, 2011 (MJD 55565) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Audrey Simmons Steph Snedden (afternoon) Support: French Leger ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We observed the following in clear conditions: Cart 10, plate 4367 Cart 13, plate 4308 (DONE) Cart 11, plate 4548 (DONE) Cart 14, plate 4492 (DONE) Cart 16, plate 4495 Cart 15, plate 4484 (DONE) Cart 17, plate 3827 (DONE) Cart 18, plate 3787 (DONE) Cart 12, plate 3842 (DONE) We had problems with the guider numerous times with it not updating. This is the same problem we had last night. There was also one instance where gotoField failed after taking hartmanns. See log for details. We lost about ~30 minutes for these problems. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- On arrival at the site, Steph found the Lindy cart suspended in the enclosure, hanging from the crane. At first she thought it was some strange practical joke. It turns out that French was repairing the handle, but this delayed afternoon checkout. In addition, STUI connections timed out from Steph's laptop again. I'm afraid that problem is not yet resolved. 23:32Z - Ventilation started, doors left closed. Night: ----- 00:20Z - Opened enclosure. Force filled the spectrographs. 00:35Z - gotoField cart 10, BOSS plate 4367. 01:00Z - Hartmanns 124681-82. All cameras in focus. 01:03Z - Cals 124683-84. Red values for WSIGMA in both blue cameras. Very strange since we verified that all cameras are in focus with hartmanns. 01:18Z - Cals 124684-85. Took another set just to be sure. 01:24Z - 15 min exposure. Seeing 2.0" 01:41Z - 15 min exposure. We are close to finishing this plate, but not quite there. Will will ask Kyle if it is does or not.
