APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday January 8, 2003 (MJD 52648) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Stephanie Snedden (APO) Howard Brewington (APO) Night: Mike Harvanek (APO) Dan Long (APO) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Night lost to humidity. Never opened. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing shift: Afternoon checkout was uneventful. Spectro focus check details are below. Night shift: Clouds, fog and high humidity at sunset. These conditions, or some combination thereof, persisted throughout the night. We never opened. The spectrograph cartridge cart (loaded with cartridge 4) is in the enclosure. We waited for the humidity to drop to a lower level so that we could open the door and transport the cartridge but the humidity remained near 100% all night. The day shift is free to put the cartridge and cart away should the need arise and the conditions allow.
