APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday August 25, 2007 (MJD 54338) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Elena Malanushenko Viktor Malanushenko - help Steph Snedden (support) Jon Brinkmann (support) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We lost the night due to clouds, radar, and high humidity. We had a slight problem with the MCP software freezing on us. Hard rebooting didnt solve the problem, but a soft-reboot did (thanks to Jon). Misc watcher errors in problem section. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- MCP: timeout (Last packet: 1970-01-01 00:00:00Z : 2007-08-26 00:22:14Z) MCP hung on us and displayed error message: PLC:MISMATCH:-999:23 Fiducials:MISMATH:v1_65:-999 (MCP UNAVAILABLE). **ca (Channel Access Failure: TPM Down?: 2007-08-26 00:18:13Z) TPM also was disconnected. We tried restarting the servers and hard-rebooting the MCP several times. Steph was contacted and tried restarting the TCC. Jon was also contacted and fixed the problem by doing a soft-reboot of the MCP by control-X'ing in a telnet connection. Everything was restored and is now working normally. **reboot (The MCP has rebooted (2007-08-26 01:24:10Z sdssmcp): 2007-08-26 01:24:12Z) Spectral collimation set for 12C (details in problem section). Night: ------ Weather (clouds, nearby radar, high humidity) delayed us from ventilating and opening. 06:38Z - Humidity went down, radar dissipated, and clouds let up slightly. We started ventilation. 06:56Z - Stopped ventilation because of high humidity. 10:35Z - endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6908 00:38Z 00:42Z 100 O 52.50 53.54 21 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): yes QA Procedures Done (y/n): yes UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 46132, plate -9999 ------- 00:04 46132 0.0 bias ----- sequence 46133, plate 2624 ------- 01:36 46133 10.0 flat 01:39 46134 2.0 arc 01:43 46135 3.0 arc 01:46 46136 3.0 arc ----- sequence 46137, plate -9999 ------- 01:50 46137 0.0 bias 01:54 46138 0.0 bias ----- sequence 46139, plate 2624 ------- 06:51 46139 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 ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:43Z 64 53 2 209 (SSW) 481 - Cloudy 23:15Z 63 50 9 142 (SE) 442 - " 23:48Z 62 50 9 127 (SE) 424 - " 00:18Z 62 48 16 126 (SE) 446 - " 00:48Z 61 48 14 127 (SE) 413 - " 01:18Z 60 48 15 146 (SE) 485 - " 01:48Z 60 48 14 156 (SSE) 484 - " 02:19Z 59 48 14 131 (SE) 446 - " 02:51Z 57 53 14 118 (ESE) 1202 - " 03:23Z 57 51 10 110 (ESE) 863 - " 03:55Z 57 53 18 126 (SE) 1188 - " 04:27Z 57 51 11 123 (ESE) 1132 - " 05:00Z 58 50 9 122 (ESE) 869 - " 05:32Z 56 52 8 126 (SE) 1267 - " 06:04Z 57 51 3 116 (ESE) 1356 - " 06:36Z 57 50 2 117 (ESE) 1143 - " 07:09Z 56 51 4 118 (ESE) 1141 - " 07:41Z 57 51 2 129 (SE) 1120 - " 08:13Z 55 52 11 152 (SSE) 1276 - " 08:45Z 54 52 6 95 (E) 1367 - " 09:17Z 58 49 0 283 (WNW) 1044 - " 09:50Z 58 48 5 9 (N) 650 - " 10:22Z 57 49 10 30 (NNE) 667 - " ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 06:38Z - Began ventilation.
