APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday May 23, 2004 (MJD 53149) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Scot Kleinman Atsuko Nitta Mike Harvanek (swing) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- No Coma tonight. 6 plates done. Cirrus most of the night. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Spectro collimation was adjusted. See the Problems section for details. DIMM ---- The DIMM software was still running today, but the controls were difficult to operate; the pointer was moving randomly and activating things without user instruction to do so (well, I was instructing the pointed to move, but not to activate things or move in random directions). I re-started the software and the bad behavior persisted. We then shutdown the DIMM for the night. I think VNC had also died by this point. 02:35Z We start with cartridge 1, plate 1612. 04:30Z We finished this plate in three exposures - next up cart 5 plate 1581. GSACPO. 05:44Z We finished this plate and went to cart 9 plate 1679. FK5 star needed. 06:49Z The serious is getting pretty cirrus. 07:24Z We finished this plate and went on to cart 4, plate 1649. GSOTGTF. 08:32Z We finished this plate and went to cart 7 plate 1421. GSOTGTF. 09:32Z Finished this plate- onto cart 8 plate 1570. GSOTGTF. 10:40Z This plate done- we change carts and close up. 11:01Z endNight rejoiced ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4651 23:35Z 23:55Z 100 O -54.99 -50.08 45 ignore ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): y QA Procedures Done (y/n): y UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 26937, plate -9999 ------- 23:26 26937 0.0 bias ----- sequence 26938, plate 1612 ------- 23:35 26938 10.0 flat collimation 23:37 26939 2.0 arc " 23:40 26940 2.1 arc " 23:43 26941 2.1 arc " 23:58 26942 2.1 arc " 00:01 26943 2.1 arc " ----- sequence 26944, plate -9999 ------- 01:13 26944 0.0 bias 01:18 26945 0.0 bias maybe shows a few more hot pixels than usual? ----- sequence 26946, plate 1612 ------- 03:21 26946 10.0 flat 03:23 26947 2.0 arc 03:46 26948 900.1 target 04:04 26949 900.1 target 04:21 26950 900.1 target DONE ----- sequence 26951, plate 1581 ------- 04:38 26951 10.0 flat 04:40 26952 2.0 arc 05:00 26953 900.1 target 05:18 26954 900.1 target 05:36 26955 900.1 target Max sky-residual chi2 = 76.9052 at 8916.98 Ang (ignoring 5577) [no obvious problems in frame/sky] DONE ----- sequence 26956, plate 1679 ------- 05:52 26956 10.0 flat 05:54 26957 2.0 arc 06:20 26958 1200.1 target sdR-r1-00026958.fit: WARNING: Max sky-residual chi2 = 64.1760 at 8833.38 Ang (ignoring 5577) 06:43 26959 1200.1 target 07:11 26960 1500.1 target DONE ----- sequence 26961, plate 1649 ------- 07:28 26961 10.0 flat 07:31 26962 2.0 arc 07:52 26963 900.1 target 08:09 26964 900.1 target 08:24 26965 700.1 target DONE ----- sequence 26966, plate 1421 ------- 08:36 26966 10.0 flat 08:38 26967 2.0 arc 08:58 26968 900.1 target 09:11 26969 600.1 target 09:24 26970 600.1 target DONE ----- sequence 26971, plate 1570 ------- 09:36 26971 10.0 flat 09:39 26972 2.0 arc 09:59 26973 900.1 target 10:17 26974 900.1 target 10:35 26975 900.1 target DONE ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:32Z 1 1612 -18.42 -0.0022 68.64 0.0026 164.14 -0.0187 1.000200 04:53Z 5 1581 96.51 0.0037 68.04 0.0006 262.19 0.0127 1.000150 06:08Z 9 1679 157.48 -0.0087 80.75 0.0032 -25.40 -0.0011 1.000380 07:43Z 4 1649 268.00 -0.0053 69.94 0.0012 100.54 -0.0189 1.000210 08:43Z 7 1421 276.07 -0.0059 72.15 0.0001 106.56 -0.0191 1.000140 09:52Z 8 1570 281.25 -0.0025 57.88 0.0002 117.24 -0.0190 1.000110 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:32Z 1 1612 1.00020 -1974 -701 -200 -18 68.7 13.7 16 272 gdr 1.2 04:53Z 5 1581 1.00015 -1480 -71 20 97 68.0 13.0 13 266 gdr 1.5 06:08Z 9 1679 1.00038 -3751 -1988 0 157 80.7 12.9 16 267 gdr 1.5 07:43Z 4 1649 1.00021 -2073 -535 50 268 69.9 11.5 14 284 gdr 1.5 08:42Z 7 1421 1.00014 -1381 53 70 276 72.2 11.3 11 272 gdr 1.4 09:52Z 8 1570 1.00011 -1086 309 50 281 57.9 10.7 7 266 gdr 1.3 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:15Z 64 18 22 268 (W) 721 - 23:46Z 61 17 22 263 (W) 830 - 01:21Z 60 14 18 260 (W) 946 - 01:51Z 58 13 17 262 (W) 898 - 02:23Z 56 13 19 248 (WSW) 946 - 02:53Z 56 13 15 247 (WSW) 1052 - 03:24Z 56 14 14 269 (W) 1060 - 03:54Z 56 14 14 264 (W) 1254 - 04:24Z 56 14 15 264 (W) 1165 - 04:54Z 55 15 11 269 (W) 1120 - 05:26Z 55 15 15 261 (W) 1148 - 05:57Z 55 17 15 271 (W) 1299 - 06:27Z 55 18 14 267 (W) 1288 - 06:57Z 54 19 12 259 (W) 1223 - 07:28Z 53 19 16 288 (WNW) 1397 - 08:00Z 53 18 12 268 (W) 1241 - 08:31Z 52 18 15 280 (W) 1381 - 09:04Z 52 18 12 279 (W) 1323 - 09:36Z 52 17 9 268 (W) 1430 - 10:08Z 50 16 9 260 (W) 1614 - 10:40Z 50 17 15 261 (W) 1298 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Open/Fans: ~02:00Z Closed: ~11:00Z Cart 3 mounted.
