APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday August 19, 2009 (MJD 55063) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Elena M Alaina Shelden Jon Brinkman Mike Carr (Princeton) Dale Sanford (Yerkese) Craig Loomis (Princeton) French Leger (UW) Larry Carey (UW) Kaike Pan ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Engineering ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We waited for the engineers to finish up on the telescope, but French told us we wouldn't get control of the telescope until tomorrow. We noticed that Dimm was not updating on the internet, even though it was running. Jon Brinkman said the computer was not responding. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon Prep: ------------- We did "dsclat id3" and saw that the boot stopped waiting for pool disk. Jon Brinkman powerd off the disk, reseated the SCSI connections, then powerd on the disk and rebooted the crate. It worked after this. 02:00Z Cannot open the telescope, the engineers are still working on the spectrographs. When they are dead tired, we will home/relax the mirrors. Night: ------ 01:43Z Sunset 03:11Z Evening twilight (18 deg) 04:09Z Setup Dimm, seeing is ~2.0". Turned on fans underneath telescope for the engineers--the room is getting very warm. 05:09Z Info from Dimm shows up on MONX3, but we can't see it on the weather status page. Jon is working on this, he says the computer that runs Dimm up here is not responding. 05:58Z French just came in and told us that we won't get the telescope tonight. We're closing up shop and will resume tomorrow. 06:14Z endNight rejoiced. We took biases, but they were not in the id report. 06:29Z Closed doors and louvers, stopped ventilationn and turned lights off. 11:04Z Morning twilight (18 deg) 12:37Z Sunrise ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 01:04Z 01:26Z 100 O 53.75 59.12 -1 ignore 0 01:04Z 01:26Z 100 O 53.75 59.12 -1 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ---=== 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 23:55Z 70 27 2 255 (WSW) 901 - 00:27Z 69 26 12 304 (NW) 995 - 00:58Z 70 28 9 288 (WNW) 1086 - 01:30Z 67 28 4 272 (W) 1067 - 02:22Z 64 91 3 218 (SW) 1190 - 02:54Z 66 27 1 158 (SSE) 1165 - 03:27Z 66 27 3 166 (SSE) 1166 - 03:59Z 65 28 6 184 (S) 1244 - 04:31Z 64 30 10 182 (S) 1246 - 05:03Z 65 31 9 184 (S) 1259 - 05:35Z 64 33 10 185 (S) 1293 - 06:07Z 64 32 11 196 (SSW) 1323 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- ---=== SOFTWARE USED ===--- IOP/SOP: v4_39_0 Watcher: v2_36_0 MCP: NOSVN TPM: tpm_v3_5_0 AstroDa: v15_13_1 TCC: TCC 2.11.0 2009-06-24 sdssProcedures: SoS: v5_1_8 plate-mapper: v4_3_1 ---=== MIRROR NUMBERS ===--- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A -0.7320 -0.0280 Axial B 0.0020 0.0470 Axial C -0.3580 -0.0360 Trans D 11.1440 -0.7600 Lateral E 10.5791 10.5791 Lateral F 12.1539 12.1793 GALILS Commanded: 10450. -100. 5750. 8600. 10350. 10000.
