APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday October 30, 2006 (MJD 54039) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Observers: Kaike Pan Howard Brewington Support: Jon Brinkman Rusell Owen (by phone) Fritz Stauffer (by phone) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SuperNova Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- A good imaging night, under clear sky and good seeing, we imaging: 82 N from lambda 115 to -125 (not including ramps). 1374 N from mu=67 to 93. Problem: 1)the license of tcc software has expired, fritz renew it. A few minutes was lost to the problem (see log). 2) Window manager on MONX Mike crashed. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- we had no problems during the afternoon checkout. Night: --------- 00:43Z run 6512 - on telescope bias 01:32Z run 6513 - SuperNnva stripe 82 N. When Kaike tried to send telescope to the field with scanStripe, he got the error message of: im> scanStripe 82 N 111 leap seconds = 33 calcStripeParams: stripe 82 great circle node,inc: 95.00,0.00 RA,Dec start: 311.00,-0.00 end: 59.00,-0.00 survey start: 126.00,-32.50 end: -126.00,-32.50 azEl start: 327.69,52.72 Requested start, RA,Dec: 296.000000 -0.000000 vel: 0.004178 -0.000000 lambda,eta: 111.00 -32.50 [xy]Bore: -22.740237 0.000000 airmass: 1.26 scan: requested start outside survey area: 111,-32 scanStripe opening flat field screens 2006-10-31 01:26:16Z: tccPut track 296.00000000,-0.00000000 FK5 /rotty=obj /rota=0 /rotwrap=MID /azwrap=MID /ScanVelocity=(0.0041780699999999999,-0.0) /Name="stripe 82-N" The track command issued by scanStripe has timed out! To continue, type "I know" Answer here: I know Error: error writing "file7": Broken pipe Kaike issued the same command and got the same result. Then he exit the IOP session, and tried to open a new one, but this time, he could not connect the new IOP session to tcc. Then he called Howard back to control room, Howard was able to send telescope to the field and started imaging scan from his existing IOP session. A few minutes was lost due to this tcc problem. After starting the data taking, we went back to the tcc connection problem. With helps from Jon and Rusell, we found that the license expiration of the tcc software was the cause, then Fritz was called, and he renew the license. 01:38Z, started ramp at frame 18, lambda 113. 01:46Z , started science at frame 31, lambda 115. Focus was good from frame 16. Skippy was good from the begining. Seeing went bad between frame 110 and frame 152. r and i chips in photo dewar 6 had very strong backgrounds on displays, and CCD chips 16 and 26 did not had seeing measurements from framw 195 to 240. Phyical check on telescope site showed the moon was near by the pointed spot at that time. We guess that some internal reflection of the moon linght on the telescope or instrument caused the strong background. 09:45Z ended science at lambda -125, frame 833. 09:53Z, ended ramp at frame 847, lambda -123. 09:56Z run 6514, seque stripe 1374 N. started from mu 63.5. Pointing and focus were good from the begining. started ramp at frame 19, mu 65. 10:11Z started science at frame 32, mu 67. Seeing was about 1.1"and stable. 11:54Z ended science at frame 206, mu=93. ramp ended at mu=95, frame 220. 12:30Z waiting for morning twilight flats for PT. 13:00Z endNight finished. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6511 22:37Z 23:34Z 100 O 87.52 101.95 110 ignore 6512 00:43Z 01:00Z 100 O 119.20 123.45 43 bias 6513 01:31Z 09:53Z 82 N 111.34 -122.69 856 science 6514 09:55Z 12:03Z 1374 N -121.78 -89.79 228 science ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- Run 6512 On telescope bias inside darkened enclosure. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Run 6513: superNova Science, 82 N, -startLambda 115 -endLambda -125 Does not include two degree ramps on each end.
