APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday December 5, 2008 (MJD 54806) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Elena Malanushenko Steph Snedden (swing) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 5 Dec 2008 54806.0 0.52 SEGUE until 07:13 (5.8 h), then BOSS/SEGUE (5.2 h) ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- It was clear and photometric for whole night. We did Segue/Boss photometry. The next plates are finished: 2640 (baoTest), 3149 (segue), and 3150 (segue). Obtained useful signal on plates 3134, 3122, 3154. For Connie: We obtained some signal on segue plate 3134 (cart3). The total sum is 151.4. We ask Connie to check is this plate finished and can be unplugged for Marvels run or do we need to keep it for next Segue observations. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- Spectro focus was not changed. It should be set for an air temp of 0 to -1 C. No problems noted during afternoon checkout Data for MJD 54769 removed from disk.

S/N < 2 for three exposures from all four. Total s/n sum is 151.4 which is 3% less then 156 required. We think this plate is not done. We ask Connie to check this plate is done.

Cart 5, plate 2640, baoTest. Previous s/n ~ 10.7 This is a second try to observe this plate. The first one was on MJD 54474 but the plate was unplugged before it was finished. This run there were two nights of observations already done and we want to finish this plate before it is unplugged for Marvels run. FSonGTF 5:46 preCalibs 5:53 science 1800 Based on this exposure we estimated the we need 3 more similar exposures to finish. 6:26 science 1800 6:59 science 1800 Seeing is ~2" 7:32 science 1800 08:05 postCalib The plate was expired at 7:17, but we pushed observation 40 min past expiration time to complete its observations. The plate is DONE. After "instChange" command Sop lost the connection with tcc. Sop reconnected tcc iself, but complained that tcc connection still did not work properly. Manual reconnection sop with tcc fixed the problem. Cart 4 plate 3149, previous sum=141. 08:18 gotoField Used FK5 to find the guider stars. 08:39 science 1800 09:12 science 1200 This plate si DONE with sum s/n=175.
