APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday September 30, 2006 (MJD 54009) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Elena Malanushenko Night: Kaike Pan, Mike Harvanek ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Supernova science. ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We imaged 82 N from lambda +111.6 to -123 (including ramps). We imaged 82 S from lambda -149 to -127.7 (including ramps). Watcher warned of GPS problems. Data transfers to /files appeared to work smoothly tonight. Current available disk space should be sufficient for tomorrow tonight. Photometric all night with the possible exception of 07:15Z to 08:00Z. For French: Started tracking at supernova scanning position at approximately 01:49Z. As happened at the end of last night, after the spectros auto-filled we got sp2 ln2 empty errors. We did a manual fill to top off the dewars, as we did last night. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon Checkout: ------------------- Clear, I think - photometric, T=10.3C, humidity 28%, wind 10 mph, dust around 600 counts. All systems are checked and work fine. Spectro focus is good for 11C. Ventilation began around 00:15Z. Night: ------ We mounted the imager, closed up the building around sunset and took an on-telescope bias (run 6420). When the bias finished, we removed the enclosure (01:25Z) and waited for it to get dark. 01:56Z Run 6421, 82 N, start lambda +111.6. Good from the beginning. We reached the end of this strip at frame 845, lambda -123. The entire run is good. As per Rick Kessler's instructions, when we finished 82 N we went to 82 S and started at a lambda such that we would be at an RA of 55 at the beginning of twilight. 10:19Z Run 6422, 82 S, start lambda -149. Good from the beginning. Run ended at frame 148, lambda -127.7 due to twilight. End RA = 57.3. The entire run was good. The data transfer to /files appeared to work smoothly tonight. The current available disk space should be sufficient for tomorrow night. Got the following watcher warnings: Extra GPS pulse? NIST sec = 999764 (2006-10-01 09:46:11Z sdssmcp) (Extra GPS pulse? NIST_sec = 999764 (2006-10-0109:46:11Z sdssmcp): 2006-10-01 09:46:23Z) Lost GPS? NIST sec = 1000210 (2006-10-01 09:46:10Z sdssmcp) (Lost GPS? NIST_sec = 1000210 (2006-10-01 09:46:10Z sdssmcp): 2006-10-01 09:46:14Z) We're calling it photometric all night with the possible exception of 07:15Z to 08:00Z. endNight rejoiced. ltMatch did not run tonight. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6419 22:05Z 22:27Z 100 O 50.04 55.56 50 ignore 6420 00:59Z 01:18Z 100 O 93.50 98.31 46 bias on-telescope 6421 01:55Z 10:16Z 82 N 111.59 -122.78 853 science all good 6422 10:19Z 11:44Z 82 S -148.82 -127.55 156 science all good ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- See the main log. ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6421 16 4 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 -0.00000 0 0 6421 68 4 67 -1.400 0.113 -6.200 0.113 -0.00065 173 57 6421 118 4 106 -1.700 0.114 -6.600 0.122 -0.00036 173 57 6421 169 4 97 -1.400 0.165 -5.200 0.145 0.00048 173 57 6421 221 4 70 -1.700 0.133 -5.000 0.099 0.00199 173 57 6421 271 4 66 -2.000 0.142 -4.700 0.146 0.00233 173 57 6421 321 4 28 -1.900 0.109 -4.600 0.125 0.00287 173 57 6421 373 4 42 -2.100 0.112 -4.700 0.138 0.00269 173 57 6421 426 4 59 -2.300 0.159 -4.600 0.107 0.00246 173 57 6421 476 4 48 -2.200 0.109 -4.300 0.147 0.00363 173 57 6421 527 4 45 -1.800 0.609 -3.800 0.642 0.00428 173 57 6421 578 4 48 -2.100 0.148 -3.500 0.119 0.00319 173 57 6421 631 4 54 -2.200 0.563 -4.000 0.532 0.00286 173 57 6421 683 4 52 -2.500 0.134 -4.300 0.110 0.00285 173 57 6421 733 4 32 -2.100 0.174 -4.500 0.121 0.00279 173 57 6421 785 4 49 -1.600 0.130 -4.900 0.126 0.00232 173 57 6421 836 4 35 -1.600 0.118 -5.000 0.134 0.00336 173 57 6422 9 4 56 -4.100 0.126 0.100 0.123 -0.00984 218 51 6422 59 4 47 -3.500 0.140 0.100 0.135 -0.01022 218 51 6422 111 4 53 -3.400 0.163 -0.000 0.421 -0.01030 218 51 ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): YES QA Procedures Done (y/n): N/A UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 40810, plate -9999 ------- 22:12 40810 0.0 bias ----- sequence 40811, plate 2441 ------- 22:22 40811 10.0 flat 22:25 40812 2.0 arc 22:32 40813 2.1 arc 22:35 40814 2.1 arc 23:02 40815 2.0 arc 23:19 40816 2.1 arc 23:21 40817 2.1 arc ----- sequence 40818, plate -9999 ------- 00:41 40818 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 02:29Z imager 7.24 0.0000 57.13 0.0000 95.88 0.0000 1.000000 10:52Z imager -37.94 0.0000 50.69 0.0000 58.74 0.0000 1.000000 ---=== 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 02:30Z imager 1.00000 0 -383 -278 7 57.1 12.1 6 340 i'23 0.9" 03:50Z imager 1.00000 0 -437 -331 7 57.1 13.6 1 172 i'23 1.1" 04:54Z imager 1.00000 0 -434 -329 7 57.1 12.6 1 160 i'23 1.1" 06:23Z imager 1.00000 0 -403 -298 7 57.1 11.5 7 170 i'23 1.3" 07:42Z imager 1.00000 0 -410 -305 7 57.1 11.9 9 180 i'23 1.1" 09:17Z imager 1.00000 0 -437 -332 7 57.1 12.2 8 231 i'23 1.0" 10:03Z imager 1.00000 0 -442 -337 7 57.1 12.2 6 204 i'23 0.9" 10:52Z imager 1.00000 0 -412 -326 -38 50.7 12.4 7 219 i'23 1.0" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 20:26Z 59 21 9 327 (NNW) 456 -
