APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday March 25, 2006 (MJD 53820) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: John Barentine Night: Viktor Malanushenko Dan Long Interloper Who Fixes Stuff: Craig Loomis ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Mostly cloudy. We got data on 6 plates, but finished only 4 plates. Approx. at 09:47Z "landru" computer crashed. After reboot the second and fourth terminals (counting from the left) had a strange cross-hatch pattern. Repeated rebooting did not change this. No other problems at the night. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon --------- No DA problems today on taking a doghouse bias with the imager. Looks like Kurt's fix worked. Only problem concerned logTool. logTool somehow lost the spectro focus numbers in the problem section. I exited logTool after saving the log then started it again to find that most of what I had written was lost. It took several attempts to get it to load what I had written previously, returning an error about an unmatched open quote in a list. Also the mirror numbers and software information were lost. Craig and I looked at /astrolog/53820 and found this for file sizes of the manualLog.par.*.old files: -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 18627 Mar 25 16:50 manualLog.par.1143330624.old -rw-rw-r-- 1 observer dss 6949 Mar 25 16:53 manualLog.par.1143330940.old -rw-rw-r-- 1 observer dss 6949 Mar 25 16:53 manualLog.par.1143330648.old -rw-rw-r-- 1 observer dss 6949 Mar 25 16:53 manualLog.par.1143330628.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 6949 Mar 25 16:55 manualLog.par.1143330946.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 6938 Mar 25 16:55 manualLog.par.1143331050.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 7649 Mar 25 16:57 manualLog.par.1143331186.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 7649 Mar 25 16:59 manualLog.par.1143331234.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 7649 Mar 25 17:00 manualLog.par.1143331236.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 7649 Mar 25 17:00 manualLog.par.1143331239.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 7649 Mar 25 17:00 manualLog.par.1143331244.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 7649 Mar 25 17:00 manualLog.par.1143331251.old -rw-r----- 1 observer dss 7649 Mar 25 17:00 manualLog.par.1143331276.old Somewhere between manualLog.par.1143330624.old and manualLog.par.1143331276.old the problem occured.
