APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday June 19, 2004 (MJD 53176) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Mike Harvanek Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clouds, with a period of elevated dust counts for some variety. No data. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing: ------ Afternoon checkout was without problems. Spectro focus checked, and no adjustment was needed. Actuator motor positions are at the end of the log. At the end of last night, the dust counter started reading approx. 100 times too high. This persisted until the middle of tonight when it went to zero. (we tried rebooting it - thrice). Night: ------ Threatening weather kept us closed for the first half of the night. Looks like the monsoon season may be nigh. 06:47Z - Clouds cleared out some and dust counts dropped enough to tempt us to open. Of course, the clouds thickened up again as soon as we opened. 07:14Z - Cartridge 9, plate 1689. An FK5 was needed, but that was probably because of the clouds. We waited for another sucker hole so we can finish this plate (only one more good exposure is needed). 08:01Z - Hopes dwindle, and we close back up, but leave the doors open for ventilation. Mike's iop session core dumped with the following message: im> /p/astroda/v14_47/bin/dscRun[429]: 53118 Bus error(coredump) The session was idle at the time. The only unusual thing about this session is that Mike had run ghostview from it. He started a new session without problems. 09:53Z - We yielded to the weather and ran endNight. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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 (bias & cals) UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 27314, plate 1704 ------- 00:24 27314 2.1 arc Collimation 00:27 27315 2.1 arc " 00:37 27316 10.0 flat " 00:39 27317 2.0 arc " ----- sequence 27318, plate -9999 ------- 01:25 27318 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL N/A Stays: JL N/A ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 00:17Z 3 1704 1.00004 -395 930 0 121 30.3 15.0 18 133 01:27Z 3 1704 1.00000 0 1257 0 121 30.3 15.0 24 127 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 00:06Z 59 34 14 150 (SSE) 45334 - cloudy 00:38Z 59 35 19 148 (SSE) 42761 - " 01:11Z 59 36 18 133 (SE) 39206 - " 01:42Z 58 35 19 113 (ESE) 36840 - " 02:12Z 57 43 18 111 (ESE) 36381 - " 02:43Z 56 44 24 123 (ESE) 42366 - " 03:15Z 56 44 15 110 (ESE) 55125 - " 03:45Z 56 43 17 108 (ESE) 65473 - " 04:15Z 56 44 16 120 (ESE) 66657 - " 04:45Z 55 45 19 112 (ESE) 65094 - " 05:16Z 55 43 18 114 (ESE) 73336 - " 05:47Z 56 42 15 108 (ESE) 5791 - " 06:18Z 55 40 16 118 (ESE) 0 - " 06:49Z 55 41 10 105 (ESE) 0 - m cloudy 07:21Z 55 37 13 127 (SE) 0 - cloudy 07:53Z 56 36 7 113 (ESE) 0 - " 08:26Z 55 38 9 110 (ESE) 0 - " 08:58Z 57 36 5 120 (ESE) 0 - " 09:30Z 55 37 4 202 (SSW) 0 - " 10:03Z 54 40 3 112 (ESE) 0 - " ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 06:46Z - Ventilation started and enclosure opened 08:01Z - Closed building, but kept doors open & ventilation fans on. 09:54Z - Doors closed, fans & blower off.
