APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday May 28, 2005 (MJD 53519) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden (swing) Mike Harvanek Howard Brewington Jurek Krzesinski Scot Kleinman (by phone) Visitor: Ryan Hannahoe (Astronomical League Youth Activities Committee) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to weather. We did imager calibrations (u3 qe). ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Swing shift: ------------ Afternoon checkout was without problems. Still no spectro focus check. Tomorrow, we will dismount the engineering camera (assuming it stays cloudy/wet all night), and mount a cartridge. Mike and Howard reverted the fiducial tables to last month's version, since it looks unlikely we'll get a new pointing model. Night: ------ Cloudy and raining at sunset. Since we will not have the opportunity to get a new pointing model, we switched back to the old fiducial tables (v1_39). We also declared the test iop (v3_149_0) current. Due to the weather, we did imager calibrations (u3 QE) again tonight. When doing the setup in the control room, Howard's iop window hung when he tried to do the tape relabel. After Howard killed a few of his extra iop sessions, the window unfroze and the tape relabel started up. Shortly after this, the same iop window issued a getAllFrames command 6 times instead of just once. Is this the old dervish bug that sometimes appears? After this, Howard killed this iop window and started a new one. We started u3 qe and got within 4 frames of finishing it before it crashed: u3 QE: ------ Run # 5349 Frame # Comments ------- -------- 1 bias 1 2 bias 2 3 dark 1 4 dark 2 5 370. 0.0 6 370. -8.0 7 370. 8.0 8 360. 8.0 9 350. 8.0 10 340. 8.0 11 345. 8.0 12 355. 8.0 13 365. 8.0 14 375. 8.0 15 375. -8.0 16 375. -90.0 17 335. 15.0 18 330. 30.0 19 320. 90.0 20 310. 90.0 21 300. 90.0 22 305. 90.0 23 315. 90.0 24 325. 45.0 25 325. -90.0 26 385. 15.0 27 395. 45.0 28 405. 90.0 29 415. 90.0 30 410. 90.0 31 400. 90.0 At this point, Howard's iop session froze. It froze at approximately 07:07Z, right before the readout for frame 32. Below is the output from iop just before the session froze: getFrameMSP 5349 31 33 /data/photo/doi/calibdata/idR-5349-u3-31.fit completed --------------------------------------------------------------------- stageX 205100 lambda 390.0 time 30.000 5349 32 u3 im cameraNag {} t-g-sdss-2.apo.nmsu.edu 3500 2005-05-29 07:06:05Z: opening camera doors flux -22034.4 aflux 15479712.6 volts 0.0003 avolts -0.1948 voltsRms 0.0042 avoltsRms 0.0049 2005-05-29 07:07:21Z: closing camera doors 2005-05-29 07:07:21Z: issuing stop to im im cameraNag {} t-g-sdss-2.apo.nmsu.edu 3500 2005-05-29 07:07:22Z: Creating/Updating report files and headers leap seconds = 32 2005-05-29 07:07:25Z: scheduling gangs2Unix transfers There already is a teamster, PID 23237, owned by snedden Here's where it froze. We killed the iop window and restarted but it froze on the initial bias. We killed it and started over again but it again froze on the initial bias. After consulting with Jurek, we rebooted host. We tried to pick up where we left off but ran into an undeclared variable (monotst) and had to call and wake Scot. Sorry Scot. He talked us through that and we finished u3 qe: QE: u3 ------ Run # 5350 Frame # Comments ------- -------- 01 bias 1 02 bias 2 03 this frame has a bad header; ignore 04 400. 90.0 (overlap with data above) 05 390. 30.0 06 380. 15.0 07 380. -90.0 08 380. 0.0 All data and analysis are stored in /data/photo/doi/calibdata. endNight was run onto cloudy night tapes. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5347 23:27Z 23:47Z 100 O -52.31 -47.40 47 ignore 5351 10:21Z 10:26Z 100 O 111.42 112.75 22 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): YES QA Procedures Done (y/n): NO UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 32853, plate -9999 ------- 23:31 32853 0.0 bias 00:54 32854 0.0 bias ----- sequence 32855, plate 2174 ------- 01:01 32855 0.0 bias ----- sequence 32856, plate -9999 ------- 02:39 32856 0.0 bias ----- sequence 32857, plate 2174 ------- 08:32 32857 0.0 bias ----- sequence 32858, plate -9999 ------- 09:12 32858 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: None Stays: None ---=== 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 52 26 6 259 (W) 352 - 23:18Z 50 28 8 233 (SW) 441 - 23:50Z 48 29 10 220 (SW) 499 - 00:23Z 50 28 10 245 (WSW) 439 - 00:55Z 49 28 4 260 (W) 465 - 01:27Z 48 28 9 260 (W) 455 - 01:59Z 48 30 6 264 (W) 404 - cloudy 02:31Z 47 30 9 276 (W) 400 - cloudy 02:51Z 47 29 8 269 (W) 680 - cloudy 03:23Z 47 30 8 309 (NW) 10056 - cloudy 03:56Z 47 29 6 305 (NW) 536 - cloudy 04:28Z 44 29 8 353 (NNW) 9614 - cloudy 05:00Z 46 30 11 318 (NW) 325 - cloudy 05:32Z 45 31 10 87 (E) 444 - cloudy 06:04Z 47 31 16 33 (NNE) 364 - 06:37Z 49 31 16 13 (NNE) 275 - 07:09Z 48 31 4 26 (NNE) 339 - 07:41Z 48 31 11 355 (NNW) 339 - 08:11Z 47 31 3 0 (N) 305 - 09:28Z 48 31 11 327 (NNW) 329 - 10:08Z 48 31 10 348 (NNW) 297 - 10:40Z 49 31 14 359 (NNW) 339 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Never opened (clouds and rain).
