APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday December 21, 2005 (MJD 53726) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Dan Long Night: Jurek Krzesinski Howard Brewington Support:Craig Loomis (by phone) Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Declared five plates done, i.e., 2313, 2306, 2271, 2274, and 2239. Got some signal on plate 2322. See log about az-brake problem in Interlocks display. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- Spectro focus checked. Adjusted focus by +2000. Now set for between 3 and 4 C. During the telescope check, it was found that in the switch back to running the mcp on host the bad fiducial tables from last run were again being used. After a quick call to Craig it was decided to copy the v1_44 tables from host2 to host and reboot the mcp. The fiducial tables were correct after that. 23:10Z Doors Open, Fans On, Louvers Open 00:10Z Enclosure Open Night: ---------- 00:46Z Cart 07, 2313. Guide stars on goToField. Plate declared done after three exposures. ------------------------------- We noticed an atypical state with the az-Brake via the interlocks display, i.e., the brake was depicted as "neither" on or off; see below: AZ_BRAKE_EN_STATE Status: Bad (0) Bit: I9_00 3 Azimuth brake enabled status Likewise, on the interlocks display, the az-axis button was red instead of green. The telescope worked normally though. -------------------------------- 02:33Z Cart 02, 2306. Guide stars on goToField. Plate finished in three exposures. 04:08Z Cart 01, plate 2322. Guide stars on goToField. We completed five exposures but could not declare this plate done. 06:11Z Cart 06, plate 2271. Guide stars on goToField. This plate was declared done when tonight's S/N^2 was added to last night's. See below.
