APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday December 11, 2008 (MJD 54812) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Steph Snedden (swing) Nathan DeLee (UF) Jiwei Xie (UF) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 11 Dec 2008 54812.0 0.96 MARVELS 12.1 hours ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Observed the following MARVELS plates: cart. 2, 3093 cart. 8, 3076 A & B cart. 6, 3085 A cart. 3, 3077 A & B cart. 5, 3078 A & B cart. 4, 3086 B cart. 1, 3091 A & B ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- After today's collecting of fiducial data, the fiducial crossing errors in alt and az were too large for automatic correction. The large corrections were forced, and all corrections after that were smaller and made automatically. No big deal. No other problems noted. Since the only plate that will use the SDSS-I spectrographs is the MARVELS pre-selection plate, it was mounted and the focus set for it exactly. I don't expect a change in focus due to temperature because it is an early night plate. No data deleted from disk. 23:30Z - Ventilation started. No imager bias, Connie still has ad1.
