APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday September 13, 2006 (MJD 53992) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Elena Malanushenko Night: Dan Long, Jurek Krzesinski Also Wik: Steph Snedden, Bill Boroski Mamoru Doi, Masayuki Tanaka ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clouds, humidity, and periods of rain kept us closed all night. Note that said rain kept us from taking cartridge 3 off the telescope, so it will have to be removed during the day for plugging, weather permitting. The imager dewar is approaching 100 lbs, and will likely need to be swapped by late morning. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon Checkout: ------------------ Rain, cold T=8.9C, wind up to 19 mph. Everything are checked and all work fine. Spectro focus checked and adjusted to 9C possible night temperature. Night: ------ Some data was accidentally deleted from /data/photo including some recent calibrator data and the symbolic links for fields and frames on sdssfiles1. They were recreated with help from Fritz. The deletion happened due to a combination of lack of familiarity with the script and the script not behaving normally. Steph is looking at the script and adding some informational text on what one should expect to see when the script runs. Later when the script was run 53877 wasn't completely deleted on files1 because of a stale NFS file handle. Plate 2377 was declared done after confirming that it had in fact been successfully observed on Jan 20th (53756). Being a special plate its status was undetermined until a couple of days afterwards, and the declaration of doneness slipped through the cracks. The summary pretty much sums up the rest of the night, as summaries are wont to do. endNight finished happily. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6342 22:21Z 22:43Z 100 O 37.29 42.64 50 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 40656, plate -9999 ------- 21:30 40656 0.0 bias ----- sequence 40657, plate 2377 ------- 22:49 40657 10.0 flat 22:51 40658 2.0 arc 23:02 40659 2.1 arc 23:05 40660 2.1 arc ----- sequence 40661, plate -9999 ------- 01:16 40661 0.0 bias 01:54 40662 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 20:02Z 57 50 8 260 (W) 421 - 20:34Z 56 48 6 228 (SW) 381 - 21:06Z 55 47 6 280 (W) 401 - 21:39Z 53 48 10 189 (S) 380 - Cloudy 22:11Z 51 49 2 260 (W) 420 - Light Rain 22:43Z 49 41 5 274 (W) 204 - Cloudy 23:14Z 49 44 1 197 (SSW) 117 - Cloudy 23:46Z 50 43 0 213 (SSW) 224 - Cloudy 00:19Z 47 44 1 280 (W) 271 - Cloudy 00:51Z 48 41 17 76 (ENE) 223 - Cloudy 01:27Z 49 41 13 99 (E) 230 - Mostly Cloudy 01:59Z 49 40 12 111 (ESE) 163 - Mostly Cloudy 02:32Z 51 37 5 184 (S) 156 - Partly Cloudy 03:04Z 49 38 5 192 (SSW) 157 - Mostly Cloudy 03:36Z 50 37 12 122 (ESE) 188 - Cloudy 04:08Z 49 41 14 117 (ESE) 291 - Cloudy 04:41Z 49 42 11 106 (ESE) 348 - Cloudy 05:13Z 49 44 19 125 (SE) 387 - Thunder 05:45Z 47 47 5 181 (S) 12295 - Thundershower 06:17Z 45 46 6 186 (S) 187 - Heavy Rain 06:49Z 44 44 12 121 (ESE) 239 - Rain 07:21Z 44 42 16 132 (SE) 187 - Light Rain 07:54Z 45 41 23 142 (SE) 157 - Light Rain 08:26Z 45 41 8 139 (SE) 179 - Cloudy 08:58Z 45 41 4 168 (SSE) 163 - Light Rain 09:30Z 45 43 15 167 (SSE) 102 - Light Rain 10:02Z 44 43 8 117 (ESE) 162 - Light Rain ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Enclosure never opened.
