APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday March 19, 2003 (MJD 52718) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Atsuko Kleinman Night: Howard Brewington, Pete Newman Visitors: Connie Rockosi (UW), Gaius Miknaitis (UW), Sean Raymond (UW) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Time domain imaging Spectro monthly checkout Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Part of the spectro monthly check-out completed. Blizard then blowing snow and high humidity kept us closed again. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing shift ----------- Spectrographs monthly checkout started, but unable to move a spectrograph cartridge to the enclosure because of weather conditions. 25 Biases taken. Checked Frame19900 for all 4 chips and found nothing bad. biasGen, biasCheck performed on imager bias Run 3792. Here is the output of biasChek.

The new watcher repeatedly beeps when we have a persistent error (High humidity, TPM and TCC Axis stat gave persistent errors). I masked out errors that were persistent (such as TPM and weather) in order to not have to beeped all the time. This is a new feature, and probably needs to be fine tuned or we will have to use masking some of the errors. Using the new sop, I took one bias and three darks without any problems. Bias Histogram --- the plot showed that all was well.

At 10:15Z, we gave up. However, endNight in the test version of IOP bombed. Connie fixed it with a patch in source ~rockosi/iop/etc/iopUtils.tcl, now checked in. We will need to cut a new version, v3_112_1 tomorrow to incorporate this. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3792 01:10Z 01:25Z 100 O -96.02 -92.41 38 bias On telescope, not shipped ---=== 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 (see log) All exposures below are part of the spectro monthly checkout.
