APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday May 15, 2006 (MJD 53871) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Mike Harvanek (shakedown tasks for the first half) Kaike Pan (ET observing for the second half) Scott Fleming and Jian Ge (ET) Eric Neilsen (by phone) Jackie Diehl (visitor) Tough Guy (visitor) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Spectro monthly checkout and other assorted shake tasks for the first half. ET science for the second half. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Spectro monthly checkout and other shake tasks were completed during the first half of the night. due to bad weather, never open for ET. Grade 2 nitrogen is at 500 psi. Problem: mozilla did not on landru. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Ventilation was started around 22:45Z but was stopped around 23:20Z due to dust and high humidity. The grade 2 nitrogen is at 500 psi. The m4l command failed to get the mirror numbers: im> m4l Error: caget (part of tpm) failed to get proper value for tpm_MIG1FL Eric Neilsen was called. At Eric's suggestion, I tried the command again with the intent of issuing a traceback but this time the command worked. The mirror numbers showed primary lateral E and F values to be out of tolerance. Homing and relaxing the primary put everything back in spec. Night: ------ The first part of the night was devoted to shakedown tasks. The following tasks were completed: I verified that the PT FF lamp was changed (changed by Norm on 05-12). PT calibrations (biases and dome flats) were obtained and visually inspected. All looked normal. I verified that endNight had been run for all nights during the bright time. Some disk space on /data on sdsshost2 and on sdssfiles1 was cleared. Some directories were cleared from /data/spectro on SoS. The primary was homed and relaxed and the secondary was homed. Spectro monthly checkout was completed. However, since the enclosure could not be ventilated due to high humidity and dust, the telescope was a little warm (approximately 11 C) and so a full blown collimation check was not performed. Based on the xsigma and wsigma values from the flats and arcs, the spectrographs are collimated at 11 C (although perhaps not optimally so). The first dark (39201) was bad. It looks like a patchwork quilt. I'm guessing by looking at it that parts of all 4 cameras got combined into each frame. When I tried to take the 2nd dark, I got the following: sp1> goStare 900 -dark Flavor of this image (bias, dark, flat, arc, science, smear, engineering, ignore, help) [dark]: Please provide a one line comment [] 900 sec dark sp1 cameraNag {} t-g-sdss-2.apo.nmsu.edu 2200 sp2 cameraNag {} t-g-sdss-2.apo.nmsu.edu 2200 2006-05-16 06:23:15Z: Camera sp1 not idle: "READING" 2006-05-16 06:23:15Z: Camera sp2 not idle: "READING" Error: Aborting: Cameras not idle: "READING" I tried pausing the exposure so I could abort it but it replied that there was no exposure to pause. A 2nd attempt at pausing gave the same reply. I then tried issuing another goStare 900 -dark and it appeared to work. The next dark (39202) was fine.
