APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday September 14, 2005 (MJD 53628) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- swing: Jurek Night: Dan Long, Rick Kessler (life guard on duty). ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Supernova Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Another good night for supernova hunting. Stripe 82 N imaged from 115 to -125 under clear skies, mostly acceptable seeing, and lots of moon. Seeing got quite bad near the end of the night with a wind shift to the NE, making the last moonless hour no good for the oblique scan. Connectivity problems at the end of the night prevented us from starting the spooling script. endNight appeared to complete normally though. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon checkout: ------------------- The telescope is ready, imager tested with bias drift.

It has now jumped to 1.8 - 2.5 with a wind direction shift to the NE. 10:27Z Start of ramp, frame 854, lambda -125 Unarchived frames: 132.56 532.12 572.22 572.56 581.16 842.12 881.33 copyUnstoredFilesInIdReport got them all makeAllFieldLinks returned without error after about 15 minutes 11:35Z endNight rejoiced Could not verify that it worked as it was not possible to log into files1 and check. In fact no ssh logins were possible, though existing sessions seemed unaffected. The same problem kept us from starting the spooling script as we couldn't log in to sn10 either. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5608 21:45Z 22:06Z 100 O 29.43 34.72 49 ignore 5609 00:58Z 01:16Z 100 O 77.89 82.45 45 bias ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5610 11 4 30 -1.200 1.825 -6.000 1.359 0.01994 154 54 5610 11 5 16 -2.900 1.427 -9.900 0.961 0.07820 154 54 5610 35 4 18 -0.200 0.122 -5.000 0.148 0.00586 154 54 5610 61 4 14 -4.800 2.392 -6.500 1.728 0.02054 154 54 5610 149 4 132 -0.700 0.119 -4.900 0.137 0.00447 154 54 5610 199 4 103 -0.800 0.126 -4.700 0.157 0.00449 154 54 5610 250 4 63 -0.800 0.149 -4.200 0.139 0.00457 154 54 5610 302 4 63 -1.200 0.114 -4.100 0.152 0.00377 154 54 5610 353 4 36 -1.200 0.115 -3.900 0.155 0.00384 154 54 5610 405 4 45 -0.900 0.152 -3.800 0.173 0.00433 154 54 5610 456 4 25 -0.900 0.180 -3.700 0.121 0.00377 154 54 5610 508 4 32 -1.000 0.121 -4.000 0.129 0.00423 154 54 5610 560 4 48 -0.800 0.120 -3.800 0.103 0.00446 154 54 5610 612 4 38 -0.700 0.139 -4.100 0.110 0.00484 154 54 5610 663 4 41 -0.600 0.102 -3.800 0.145 0.00446 154 54 5610 714 4 39 -0.600 0.101 -3.800 0.110 0.00451 154 54 5610 766 4 58 -0.300 0.170 -3.900 0.142 0.00444 154 54 5610 819 4 49 -0.700 0.203 -3.700 0.266 0.00466 154 54 ---=== 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 33961, plate -9999 ------- 21:50 33961 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 02:23Z imager 1.00000 0 -308 -211 26 54.5 12.6 17 268 23-i' 1.63 03:09Z imager 1.00000 0 -327 -230 26 54.5 12.2 18 268 23-i' 1.46 04:27Z imager 1.00000 0 -273 -175 26 54.5 11.2 11 294 23-i' 1.97 05:53Z imager 1.00000 0 -350 -252 26 54.5 10.7 14 296 23-i' 1.32 06:48Z imager 1.00000 0 -355 -258 26 54.5 9.8 2 344 23-i' 1.55 07:47Z imager 1.00000 0 -375 -277 26 54.5 10.4 13 13 23-i' 1.70 08:42Z imager 1.00000 0 -395 -297 26 54.5 10.6 16 35 23-i' 1.37 09:50Z imager 1.00000 0 -347 -249 26 54.5 10.0 19 56 23-i' 1.84 10:28Z imager 1.00000 0 -315 -217 26 54.5 9.5 17 46 23-i' 2.37 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 21:43Z 62 32 17 260 (W) -9999 - Clear 22:13Z 61 32 25 262 (W) -9999 - Clear 22:45Z 61 32 22 236 (SW) -9999 - Clear 23:15Z 62 33 22 252 (WSW) -9999 - Clear 23:47Z 60 31 19 255 (WSW) -9999 - Clear 00:40Z 58 27 22 256 (WSW) -9999 - Clear 01:10Z 56 23 24 258 (WSW) -9999 - Clear 01:44Z 55 20 21 263 (W) -9999 - Clear 02:16Z 54 20 11 269 (W) -9999 - Clear 02:47Z 54 18 16 257 (WSW) -9999 - Clear 03:20Z 54 18 17 272 (W) -9999 - Clear 03:53Z 52 18 14 270 (W) -9999 - Clear 04:25Z 52 18 15 287 (WNW) -9999 - Clear 04:55Z 52 17 13 283 (WNW) -9999 - Clear 05:29Z 51 17 5 269 (W) -9999 - Clear 06:00Z 51 17 11 300 (WNW) -9999 - Clear 06:31Z 50 18 11 319 (NW) -9999 - Clear 07:01Z 50 18 1 23 (NNE) -9999 - Clear 07:31Z 50 17 14 6 (N) -9999 - Clear 08:02Z 50 16 18 27 (NNE) -9999 - Clear 08:33Z 51 17 14 26 (NNE) -9999 - Clear 09:03Z 50 16 17 43 (NE) -9999 - Clear 09:34Z 50 17 16 61 (ENE) -9999 - Clear 10:04Z 49 20 12 54 (NE) -9999 - Clear 12:00Z 49 15 13 43 (NE) -9999 - Clear ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:35Z Fans On 01:25Z Enclosure Open 11:10Z Enclosure Closed, Fans Off Stowed at 30 deg alt, cartridge 8 installed.
