APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday October 13, 2004 (MJD 53292) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Pete Newman Night: Jurek Krzesinski, Scot Kleinman Visitors: Ben Dilday, John Marriner, Josh Frieman (SNe Team, FNAL, U. Chicago) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SN Science. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Ice, snow, humidity kept us closed all night. No data. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing shift =========== SOP gave errors when first grabbing control of the spectrograhs. See problems section for details. Spectrographs' focus were checked and found to be within tolerance. However, this was done in the enclosure with Tamb ~ 9.5C, while the air temperature outside was already down to 2C and falling before sunset. Perversely, the normal doghouse bias tonight showed no symptoms of erratic bias. The plan to obtain an imager doghouse-bias run with the T-bars unlatched was posponed due to bad weather including thunderstorms in the area. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4881 23:05Z 04:21Z 100 O 78.26 157.57 371 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 ----- sequence 28842, plate -9999 ------- 23:06 28842 0.0 bias ----- sequence 28843, plate 1917 ------- 23:25 28843 2.1 arc 23:28 28844 2.1 arc ----- sequence 28845, plate -9999 ------- 00:25 28845 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 ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== 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 22:46Z 37 35 16 52 (NE) 765 - Fog 23:18Z 36 35 20 54 (NE) 16744 - " 23:50Z 34 34 22 75 (ENE) 9844 - " 00:23Z 32 31 33 66 (ENE) 37 - Sleet 00:55Z 31 30 27 67 (ENE) 89 - Snow 01:27Z 30 27 28 66 (ENE) 375 - " 02:00Z 29 27 30 50 (NE) 714 - " 02:32Z 29 27 31 60 (ENE) 187 - " 03:04Z 29 28 19 57 (ENE) 288 - 03:36Z 32 30 32 56 (NE) 83 - 04:08Z 30 28 28 68 (ENE) 34 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- ---=== SOFTWARE USED ===--- IOP/SOP: v3_142_0 Watcher: v2_29_0 MCP: v5_25_0 TPM: tpm_v2_42_0 AstroDa: v14_47 TCC: TCC 2.7.2.1 August 6 2004 sdssProcedures: v1_94 SoS: v4_10_7 hoggPT: v1_6_9 plate-mapper: v4_3_1 ---=== MIRROR NUMBERS ===--- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A 0.5220 0.5250 Axial B 0.6010 0.6020 Axial C 0.9070 0.9050 Trans D -8.6170 -8.6120 Lateral E 10.0330 10.0203 Lateral F 11.5951 11.5951 GALILS Commanded: 4800. -2150. 2600. -6900. -7850. -7900.
