APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday September 18, 2006 (MJD 53997) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Elena Malanushenko Night: Shannon Watters, Dan Long ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was clear all night tonight with variable seeing. We observed 1188 and nearly finished the remaining pieces. The rest of the time was spent on 82 N. 02:12Z Run 6370: 82 N lambda 113 to 151 (incl ramps) 05:05Z Run 6371: 1188 S mu 341 to 4.5 (incl ramps) 06:48Z Run 6372: 1188 N mu 352 to 148 (incl ramps) 08:27Z Run 6373: 82 N lambda 158 to -175 (incl ramps) 10:24Z Run 6374: 82 N lambda -147 to -132 (incl ramps) ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon Checkout: ------------------- It is clear, photometric, T=8.6C, wind up to 12 mph, humidity 16%. All systems are checked and work fine. Spectro focus has been ajusted for T=9C. Yesterday's problem with diffuse area on the B1 camera is fixed based on Jon Brinkmann's suggestion to check and re-adjust the purge last night. New flat file 40686 looks good. Thank you very much to Jon and to Dan. Night: -------- 01:00Z Closing for bias, run 6369 01:25Z Opening 02:12Z Run 6370: 82 N lambda 113 - 151 (incl ramps) Skippy happy from the start Focus good from frame 16 02:28Z Twilight 02:28Z Start of ramp frame 33, lambda 113 02:36Z Start of science frame 46, lambda 115 04:52Z End of science frame 275, lambda 149 05:00Z End of ramp frame 287, lambda 151 05:05Z Run 6371: 1188 S mu 341 to 4.5 (incl ramps) Skippy and focus happy from the start 05:11Z Start of ramp frame 19, mu 341 05:19Z Start of science frame 32, mu 343 06:32Z End of science frame 162, mu 2.5 06:41Z End of ramp frame 175, mu 4.5 06:48Z Run 6372: 1188 N mu 352 to 148 (incl ramps) Skippy and focus happy from the start. 06:55Z Start of ramp frame 19, mu 352 07:03Z Start of science frame 32, mu 354 End of science frame 135, mu 9.3 End of ramp frame 148, mu 11.3 08:20Z Ending drift because seeing went bad after frame 148. End of ramp set by bad seeing rather than run end. Back to supernova. Filling in gaps from two nights ago as requested by Rick Kessler. 08:27Z Run 6373: 82 N lambda 158 to -175 (incl ramps) Skippy and focus happy from the start. 08:31Z Start of ramp frame 15, lambda 158 08:40Z Start of science frame 28, lambda 160 10:12Z End of science frame 183, lambda -177 10:20Z End of ramp frame 196, lambda -175 10:24Z Run 6374: 82 N lambda -147 to -132 (incl ramps) Skippy and focus happy from the start. 10:27Z Start of ramp frame 12, lambda -147 10:31Z Start of science frame 25, lambda -145 11:20Z Start of ramp frame 100, lambda -134 11:28Z Twilight 11:28Z End of science frame 113, lambda -132 Ran out of night before reaching the end of the scan area. endNight rejoiced after both Shannon and I ran it. For the last few times Shannon has run endNight, when it came time to transfer cloud camera images it has asked for observer@hoggpt's password when it didn't before. I ran it and it didn't ask for anything. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6368 22:37Z 22:58Z 100 O 46.07 51.45 50 ignore 6369 01:00Z 01:20Z 100 O 82.09 86.96 39 bias 6370 02:12Z 05:00Z 82 N 109.19 151.32 288 science 6371 05:03Z 06:45Z 1188 S 154.34 -180.30 176 science 6372 06:47Z 08:21Z 1188 N 165.29 -171.22 164 science 6373 08:26Z 10:21Z 82 N 156.90 -174.47 198 science 6374 10:24Z 11:28Z 82 N -147.73 -131.46 114 science ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6370 14 4 22 -0.300 1.907 -5.300 0.512 0.00122 163 56 6370 63 4 110 -3.800 0.159 -5.000 0.138 0.00059 163 56 6370 133 4 118 -3.200 0.143 -4.200 0.130 0.00112 163 56 6370 183 4 107 -3.500 0.127 -4.500 0.122 0.00227 163 56 6370 235 4 57 -3.300 0.110 -4.400 0.125 0.00248 163 56 6370 284 4 70 -3.300 0.143 -4.900 0.125 0.00312 163 56 6371 15 4 68 3.000 0.151 -6.100 0.146 0.00405 125 65 6371 66 4 41 0.700 0.177 -6.800 0.164 0.00191 141 62 6371 118 4 62 0.100 0.170 -6.900 0.143 -0.00052 155 58 6371 170 4 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 -0.00000 0 0 6372 14 4 40 0.700 0.119 -5.300 0.139 0.00409 179 64 6372 64 4 40 0.000 0.094 -5.200 0.184 0.00110 187 57 6372 115 4 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 -0.00000 0 0 6373 16 4 33 -4.000 0.165 2.000 0.121 -0.02088 234 42 6373 69 4 44 -3.400 0.157 1.800 0.117 -0.01575 234 42 6373 119 4 54 -4.100 0.153 1.700 0.126 -0.01366 234 42 6373 170 4 49 -3.900 0.108 2.200 0.148 -0.01339 234 42 6374 8 4 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 -0.00000 0 0 6374 58 4 38 -1.100 0.145 1.300 0.168 -0.00189 200 56 6374 109 4 59 -0.900 0.138 1.500 0.133 -0.00116 200 56 ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 40685, plate -9999 ------- 22:26 40685 0.0 bias ----- sequence 40686, plate 2441 ------- 22:46 40686 10.0 flat 22:48 40687 2.0 arc 22:52 40688 2.1 arc 22:54 40689 2.1 arc ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:44Z imager 16.62 0.0000 56.23 0.0000 103.72 0.0000 1.000000 ---=== 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 03:44Z imager 1.00000 0 -381 -278 17 56.2 10.3 11 35 23-i' 1.61 04:59Z imager 1.00000 0 -415 -312 17 56.2 10.1 12 25 23-i' 1.22 06:11Z imager 1.00000 0 -423 -333 14 51.9 10.8 7 34 23-i' 1.40 06:53Z imager 1.00000 0 -448 -326 1 63.6 10.2 9 20 23-i' 1.33 08:45Z imager 1.00000 0 -351 -293 -55 42.3 10.2 12 62 23-i' 1.67 09:41Z imager 1.00000 0 -370 -313 -55 42.3 9.6 6 91 23-i' 1.41 10:31Z imager 1.00000 0 -389 -288 -20 55.7 8.7 3 179 23-i' 1.02 11:20Z imager 1.00000 0 -385 -284 -20 55.7 9.2 2 179 23-i' 0.97 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:29Z 53 19 6 288 (WNW) 337 - Clear 22:02Z 51 11 8 270 (W) 287 - Clear 22:32Z 55 15 9 269 (W) 275 - Clear 23:03Z 51 9 1 342 (NNW) 212 - Clear 23:34Z 51 10 8 3 (N) 210 - Clear 00:06Z 49 12 3 288 (WNW) 199 - Clear 00:38Z 48 15 7 337 (NNW) 223 - Clear 01:08Z 47 10 10 8 (N) 247 - Clear 01:39Z 47 2 6 2 (N) 225 - Clear 01:51Z 48 2 6 359 (NNW) 225 - Clear 02:21Z 48 2 10 28 (NNE) 253 - Clear 02:52Z 50 4 12 4 (N) 231 - Clear 03:23Z 50 5 9 6 (N) 243 - Clear 03:55Z 50 5 10 21 (NNE) 266 - Clear 04:27Z 51 6 13 20 (NNE) 314 - Clear 04:58Z 50 6 13 25 (NNE) 266 - Clear 05:28Z 50 6 8 18 (NNE) 269 - Clear 06:00Z 52 6 18 21 (NNE) 260 - Clear 06:32Z 51 7 9 6 (N) 270 - Clear 07:04Z 49 6 10 33 (NNE) 312 - Clear 07:35Z 50 6 12 26 (NNE) 270 - Clear 08:07Z 50 6 11 36 (NE) 327 - Clear 08:41Z 50 6 12 61 (ENE) 329 - Clear 09:11Z 50 7 6 64 (ENE) 295 - Clear 09:44Z 49 5 5 90 (E) 305 - Clear 10:17Z 48 5 2 178 (S) 263 - Clear 10:47Z 48 4 2 180 (S) 266 - Clear 11:17Z 48 5 2 179 (S) 275 - Clear 11:50Z 48 5 4 179 (S) 282 - Clear 12:22Z 46 4 4 178 (S) 303 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:05Z Doors Open, Louvers Open, Fans On 01:25Z Enclosure Open 11:40Z Enclosure Closed, Louvers Closed, Fans Off Stowed at 30 deg alt, cart 3 installed.
