APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday March 13, 2007 (MJD 54173) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Swing: Kaike Pan Night: Mike Harvanek Audrey Simmons Dan Oravetz ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Problem: During afternoon checkout, the telescope moved itself to somewhere else instead of the desingation from the issued track command (see log). This happened at about 00:00Z. Night: --------- Finished spectro segue plate 2678 cart 4. Imaged 1458 N from mu 125 to 149 including ramps. Imaged 205 N from mu 193 to 208.6 including ramps. Imaged 34 N from lambda -10 to -2 including ramps. Imaged 37 S from lambda 10 to 18 including ramps. Finished spectro legacy plate 1846 cart 5. Good data on cart 2, legacy plate 1807. Photometric all night except from 09:20Z to 10:35Z. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- Spectro focus checked, and did a mechPiston -1000 on both sp1 and sp2. But the Sos returned results indicated that the focus is still setting for about 3 C. During afternoon checkout, when moving telescope from 121, 30 to 121, 90, -10 with track 121, 90 mount /rota=0 /rotty=mount (yes, I, Pan, checked and comfirmed the command with up arrow in tcc window of the enclosure laptop), the telescope moved to 118, 50, -46 before it was stopped. This happened at about 00:00Z. Mounted cartridge 1 and put engCam back its home from cartridge bay. Night: ------- 01:20Z Opened enclosure 02:04Z Cart 4, plate 2678, segue mounted. Guide stars found on gotofield. Plate is finished. 03:56Z Started imaging run 6748. Forgot to clear offsets. Please ignore the run. 03:59Z Run 6749, stripe 1458 N, start mu 117. Started imaging again. Everything good from the beginning. Seeing is acceptable through frame 19, mu of 119. SeeingRun declared seeing bad from frame 19, mu of 119 to frame 59, mu of 125. However, by eye, the seeing was bad up to frame 37 only, mu of 122. After frame 59, the seeing was declared good. Finished at frame 219, mu 149. 06:17Z Run 6750, stripe 1540 N, start mu 149. 06:29Z Ended 6750 drift at frame 36. Bad seeing becuase of a low altitude. Please ignore. Accidentally labeled as science. 06:32Z Start run 6751, stripe 205 N, start mu 193. Everything was good from the beginning. Seeing was acceptable. Good data from beginning to frame 110, mu 208.6. 08:17Z Ended 6751 drift due to bad seeing. Last frame was 175. 08:21Z Started run 6752, stripe 34 N, start lambda -10. Everything was good from the beginning. 08:52Z Ended 6752 drift at frame 59. All good data, from lambda -10 to -2. 08:55Z Started 6753 run, stripe 37 S, start at 10 lambda. Everything was good from the beginning. 09:25Z Ended 6753 run at frame 58. Clouds started appearing in the cloud camera approx 7 min before the end of the run. However, the clouds were not in the area of the sky where the telescope was pointed. Therefore, this entire run should be good. Good data, from lambda 10 to 18. 09:27Z Run 6754 - imager bias 10:06Z Cart 5, legacy plate 1846 mounted. Guide stars found with gotofield. QA tested. Plate finished. 11:12Z Cart 2, legacy plate 1807 mounted. Guide stars were not found with gotofield command nor with an fk5 star. Needed to force an azmith correction to find guide stars. We took two exposures before twlight, but did not finish the plate. Did not do QA on this plate. 12:47Z endNight rejoiced ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6747 22:39Z 23:09Z 100 O -139.88 -132.24 65 ignore 6748 03:51Z 03:59Z 1458 N -68.59 -66.54 28 ignore 6749 04:01Z 06:08Z 1458 N -67.71 -35.73 227 science 6750 06:13Z 06:31Z 1540 N -35.68 -31.13 44 ignore 6751 06:35Z 08:16Z 205 N 8.32 33.77 183 science 6752 08:21Z 08:52Z 34 N -9.66 -1.77 67 science 6753 08:55Z 09:26Z 37 S 10.47 18.28 66 science 6754 09:28Z 09:43Z 100 O 22.76 26.50 39 bias ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6748 14 4 57 0.900 0.119 1.900 0.149 -0.00963 186 48 6749 31 4 87 0.700 0.158 1.800 0.157 -0.00893 190 49 6749 101 4 101 1.200 0.100 2.100 0.115 -0.00556 194 54 6749 152 4 73 1.500 0.127 2.000 0.100 -0.00371 197 58 6749 204 4 60 1.600 0.125 1.800 0.131 -0.00049 201 61 6750 18 4 76 -1.100 0.138 -1.400 0.155 -0.01860 177 35 6751 15 4 55 0.300 0.200 -2.600 0.124 -0.00176 120 53 6751 65 4 51 -0.300 0.135 -3.400 0.184 -0.00258 127 51 6751 117 4 58 -1.200 0.173 -3.400 0.143 -0.00265 133 48 6751 168 4 61 0.600 0.190 -3.300 0.170 -0.00215 138 45 6752 8 4 0 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 -0.00000 0 0 6752 55 4 50 1.900 0.137 0.300 0.137 -0.00877 341 60 6753 18 4 58 0.600 0.152 1.600 0.124 -0.01004 10 57 ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6749 42 1 51 349 57 0.710 0.196 0.975 0.220 -0.00328 6749 42 1 51 349 74 0.466 0.189 1.403 0.265 -0.00472 6749 42 1 51 349 72 0.515 0.188 1.410 0.282 -0.00474 6749 42 1 51 349 73 0.108 0.268 1.531 0.212 -0.00515 6749 42 1 51 349 78 0.026 0.218 1.571 0.266 -0.00528 6749 60 1 52 348 74 -0.113 0.287 0.849 0.220 -0.00285 6749 60 1 52 348 65 -0.404 0.292 1.044 0.170 -0.00351 6749 60 1 52 348 78 -0.511 0.296 1.298 0.226 -0.00436 6749 60 1 52 348 62 -0.813 0.241 1.374 0.272 -0.00462 6749 60 1 52 348 53 -1.088 0.229 1.460 0.249 -0.00491 6749 110 1 55 345 41 0.962 0.163 0.685 0.146 -0.00230 6749 110 1 55 345 56 0.895 0.139 0.825 0.144 -0.00277 6749 110 1 55 345 46 0.787 0.191 0.821 0.195 -0.00276 6749 110 1 55 345 46 0.661 0.163 0.851 0.189 -0.00286 6749 110 1 55 345 36 0.372 0.150 0.917 0.235 -0.00308 6749 128 1 57 344 45 0.457 0.156 0.592 0.102 -0.00199 6749 128 1 57 344 38 0.147 0.128 0.755 0.147 -0.00254 6749 128 1 57 344 43 -0.007 0.147 0.697 0.180 -0.00234 6749 128 1 57 344 24 -0.030 0.189 0.868 0.156 -0.00292 6749 128 1 57 344 26 -0.078 0.201 0.761 0.179 -0.00256 6749 163 1 59 341 30 0.148 0.191 -0.422 0.112 0.00142 6749 163 1 59 341 30 0.114 0.210 -0.194 0.156 0.00065 6749 163 1 59 341 24 0.217 0.172 0.064 0.184 -0.00022 6749 163 1 59 341 20 0.062 0.161 0.076 0.133 -0.00026 6749 163 1 59 341 17 -0.159 0.219 0.129 0.288 -0.00044 6749 180 1 60 340 25 0.497 0.204 -0.211 0.209 0.00071 6749 180 1 60 340 26 0.232 0.145 0.045 0.116 -0.00015 6749 180 1 60 340 31 0.018 0.179 0.026 0.193 -0.00009 6749 180 1 60 340 31 -0.316 0.130 0.157 0.165 -0.00053 6749 180 1 60 340 16 -0.388 0.137 0.376 0.186 -0.00127 6749 209 1 62 337 11 0.445 0.183 -0.581 0.149 0.00195 6749 209 1 62 337 21 0.251 0.191 -0.577 0.128 0.00194 6749 209 1 62 337 29 0.209 0.179 -0.398 0.168 0.00134 6749 209 1 62 337 17 -0.174 0.204 -0.196 0.154 0.00066 6749 209 1 62 337 18 -0.270 0.267 -0.042 0.161 0.00014 ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): yes QA Procedures Done (y/n): yes, all excepts plate 1807.
