APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Wednesday September 12, 2007 (MJD 54356) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden (swing) Viktor Malanushenko Elena malanushenko Jon Brinkmann (support) Fritz Stauffer (support) French Leger ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SN Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We have night with mixed weather conditions. There are nearby storm, high humidity partly clouds. Anyway we observed two SN 82N stripes with lambda 123-155, and -151 to -123. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Jon and Fritz took the temperature of ad4, since its clock has been drifting more than the other nodes'. It was not overheated, so we suspect ad4 just has a worse crystal, and we notice it now because of the ntp check that we have started doing. We will continue to keep an eye on it. No other problems during afternoon checkout. Night: ------ Dust up to 3K, lightening 45 km, and some local shtorm is going to us. It is clear, but we have to wait a little to see where the storm is going. During the telescope preparation the telescope stopped to move using tcc commands. It was possible to move it using MCP. We stopped tcc and started again, but it did not help. We rebooted MCP (hard, Ctrl-X from GUI) and it fixed the problem with telescope operation from TCC command line. 02:43Z Ventillation is started. 03:40-04:02 Bias, run 6949, 42 frames. 04:10-04:15 run 6950 - BAD. 04:16Z Stripe 82, N, Run 6951. 04:18Z goDrift lambda 121 Skippy is happy from the beginning Focus is happy from frame 20 Rump lambda 123-125, frames 18-31 Science from lambda 125, frame 31 Seeing is good up to frame 78 l=132. 06:34Z endDrift, fr:235 -- i.e. high humidity Enclosure is on and no ventillation. Enclosure is off. The same story as last night: We moved the telescope to 6 degree. After we moved enclosure on, we see alt=4.5 degree. We tried "axis init" and "track" to alt=30, but telescope began to move down, we stopped, try again and moved to 30 degree. 09:30Z Stripe 82,N Run 6952. 09:31Z goDrift, lambda -151 Skippy is happy from the beginning Focus is happy from frame 19, clouds Seeing approx. from 1.9 to 1.4 arsec.
