APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday December 28, 2007 (MJD 54463) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko (days) Howard Brewington (observer) Olena Malanushenko (observer) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Clouds for a great deal of the night Added some signal to cart 05, plate 2878 Lines 1, 2, and 3 are not working on the site phones. The spectro fields had large offsets tonight, i.e., D=-20 We ask Brain Yanny to please check cart 02, plate 2850 and cart 04, plate 2856. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- All equipment are checked and work properly. Spectro collimation set for -7C. Position the spectra in wavelength on the b1 camera has been adusted. Ventilation is started at 23:15Z. Cart 9 is mounted. Night: ------ 00:01Z Sunset 00:16Z Pulled the enclosure, topped-off spectro dewars, replaced spectro 180-L dewar, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, and checked the fiducial crossings. The DIMM was not started because of cloud cover. 00:35Z Cart 09, plate 2864 (segFaint170). Guide stars were not found with goToField or Fk5 with increased cloud cover. This segFaint cart was replaced with a segBright because of clouds. 00:56Z Cart 02, plate 2850 (segBright). Guide stars were not found with goToField because of increased cloud cover. 01:30Z Enclosure on; fans lefted on and doors open. 01:33Z Evening twilight ended 03:15Z Enclosure off as clouds cleared. Started the DIMM. 03:24Z Cart 05, plate 2878 (chunk171). An Fk5 was used to find the field; there was a large offset, viz., A=+3, D=-23. Seeing was ~1.0" as reoprted by the DIMM. Two exposures were completed, but plate was not declared done. 03:51 48369 10.0 flat 03:53 48370 2.0 arc 04:13 48371 901.0 target 04:32 48372 900.0 target 04:42Z Cart 07, plate 2639 (boaTest157). Guide stars were found with goToField. One exposure was completed with clouds, which was no good. 04:47 48373 10.0 flat 04:50 48374 2.0 arc 04:53Z We had clouds again. 05:17Z Moonrise 05:43 48375 957.0 target 06:10Z Cart 03, plate 1876, (chunk93). The field was found with Fk5 and had a large offset as with provious plates tonight. Seeing was about 1.75" as reported by the DIMM. Clouds were not as thick during this science exposure. One exposure was completed; however, it was no good. 07:04 48376 10.0 flat 07:06 48377 2.0 arc 07:36 48378 1500.0 target 07:41Z Cart 04, plate 2856 (segue169). Field was found with goToField. Seeing was about 1.75" as reported by the DIMM. The sky became more cloudy during this time. 08:00 48379 10.0 flat 08:02 48380 2.0 arc 08:03 Clouds 09:45Z Enclosure on as clouds became thicker. 09:55Z A few snow flakes 12:07Z endNight finished Misc. Watcher messages are posted in the problems. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7256 21:17Z 21:43Z 100 O 125.38 131.91 58 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): y QA Procedures Done (y/n): y UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 48359, plate -9999 ------- 21:14 48359 0.0 bias ----- sequence 48360, plate 2856 ------- 21:46 48360 10.0 flat 21:49 48361 2.0 arc 22:01 48362 2.0 arc 22:10 48363 3.0 arc 22:12 48364 2.0 arc 22:32 48365 10.0 flat 22:34 48366 2.0 arc ----- sequence 48368, plate -9999 ------- 00:00 48368 0.0 bias ----- sequence 48369, plate 2878 ------- 03:51 48369 10.0 flat 03:53 48370 2.0 arc 04:13 48371 901.0 target 04:32 48372 900.0 target ----- sequence 48373, plate 2639 ------- 04:47 48373 10.0 flat 04:50 48374 2.0 arc 05:43 48375 957.0 target ----- sequence 48376, plate 1876 ------- 07:04 48376 10.0 flat 07:06 48377 2.0 arc 07:36 48378 1500.0 target ----- sequence 48379, plate 2856 ------- 08:00 48379 10.0 flat 08:02 48380 2.0 arc 08:54 48381 901.0 target ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 04:04Z 5 2878 -39.49 0.0046 38.89 -0.0055 147.15 -0.0048 0.999950 07:15Z 3 1876 155.89 0.0061 52.11 -0.0059 -51.39 0.0123 1.000010 08:49Z 4 2856 111.85 0.0074 54.82 -0.0055 -94.10 0.0266 0.999890 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 04:03Z 5 2878 0.99995 494 1829 200 -39 38.9 -6.9 12 288 gdr 1.7 07:15Z 3 1876 1.00001 -99 1293 200 156 52.1 -7.3 17 286 gdr 2.0 08:49Z 4 2856 0.99989 1086 2216 150 112 54.7 -7.4 15 292 gdr 2.5 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 20:10Z 21 -27 7 306 (NW) 98 - 20:42Z 20 -23 2 337 (NNW) 160 - 21:14Z 21 -19 8 292 (WNW) 171 - 21:46Z 21 -23 9 329 (NNW) 133 - 22:16Z 19 -23 3 0 (N) 184 - 22:47Z 21 -16 13 315 (NW) 146 - 23:19Z 19 -12 9 288 (WNW) 192 - 00:15Z 21 0 19 316 (NW) 145 - 00:45Z 21 7 13 273 (W) 135 - 01:15Z 21 5 9 279 (W) 123 - 01:45Z 20 3 9 281 (W) 158 - 02:15Z 21 5 17 301 (WNW) 168 - 02:46Z 20 2 9 288 (WNW) 196 - 03:18Z 21 7 10 316 (NW) 149 - 03:49Z 20 1 8 276 (W) 206 - 04:19Z 20 4 17 295 (WNW) 188 - 04:50Z 19 -2 6 266 (W) 179 - 05:23Z 19 -7 10 308 (NW) 173 - 05:53Z 19 -15 9 282 (WNW) 137 - 06:25Z 19 -13 9 294 (WNW) 156 - 06:57Z 18 -13 5 283 (WNW) 187 - 07:27Z 20 0 16 301 (WNW) 128 - 07:58Z 20 -1 17 293 (WNW) 215 - 08:29Z 19 0 14 280 (W) 257 - 08:59Z 18 0 13 286 (WNW) 271 - 09:29Z 19 2 11 283 (WNW) 253 - 10:02Z 19 2 16 274 (W) 241 - 10:32Z 19 2 14 271 (W) 252 - 11:02Z 20 2 16 295 (WNW) 233 - 11:32Z 19 1 17 264 (W) 327 - 12:04Z 19 0 20 280 (W) 360 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:15Z - Began ventilation.
