APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Thursday March 12, 2009 (MJD 54903) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons Dan Oravetz Scott Fleming (UF) Lauren Palladino (Vanderbilt) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- We lost much of the night to combinations of clouds, high humidity, nearby radar returns, and some precipitation. While the weather was mostly cooperative we observed the following MARVELS plates: cart. 7, 3219, field B cart. 9, 3279, field B, cart. 1, 3089, fields A & B ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon --------- Restarted servers. All systems checked and working properly. We did not run `collimate' since all MARVELS plates are post-selection plates tonight. sdsshost2.apo.nmsu.edu % df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 116G 20G 86% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 802G 69G 93% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.5T 673G 720G 49% /files 23:55Z - Mounted cart. 7, checked fiducials. 00:05Z - Started ventilation. Night ----- 01:10Z - Opened. Cart. 7, 3219, Dec08b_Marvels ***************************** Field B ------- 01:27Z - gotoField. Used fk5 because the sky was still bright. The fk5 was in fiber 10 without any adjustments to the offsets. First guider frame: gimg0329.fits. 01:49Z - MARVELS cal. 01:59Z - Science. 50 minutes. The seeing was as high as 3" at times during the exposure. 02:50Z - MARVELS cal. Cart. 9, 3279, Jan09b_MARVELS ***************************** Field B ------- 03:00Z - gotoField. GSOGTF. First guider frame: gimg0581.fits. 03:05Z - Ran focus loop and adjusted the scale. 03:14Z - Science. 50 minutes. 04:05Z - MARVELS cal. Cart. 1, 3089, Nov08a_Marvels ***************************** Field A ------- 04:17Z - gotoField. Used fk5 to acquire the field after we corrected an azimuth fiducial that was too large. First guider frame: gimg0793.fits. 04:27Z - Adjusted scale and ran focus loop. 04:32Z - Science. 50 minutes. 05:22Z - MARVELS cal. Field B ------- 05:23Z - gotoField. Used fk5 (just off the edge of fiber 10). First guider frame: gimg0998.fits. 05:35Z - Science. 50 minutes. 06:25Z - Closed due to threatening clouds and low efficiency. 06:30Z - MARVELS cal. 08:27Z - Stopped ventilation because of high humidity. 08:42Z - Started snowing. 09:00Z - Stopped snowing, but we still had radar returns just south of us. 10:55Z - The humidity was still increasing (92% now), radar returns were still nearby, and we were clouded over, so we called it. 10:58Z - Mounted cart. 7, finished closing procedures. 11:08Z - endNight rejoiced. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== 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 59651, plate -9999 ------- 23:32 59651 0.0 bias 23:35 59652 0.0 bias ----- sequence 59653, plate 3359 ------- 23:43 59653 10.0 flat ignore 23:46 59654 2.0 arc ignore ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:53Z 7 3219 154.18 0.0036 55.06 0.0034 -49.67 -0.0033 1.000090 03:15Z 9 3279 192.68 0.0044 61.66 0.0016 21.79 0.0188 0.999910 04:32Z 1 3089 260.58 0.0002 62.96 0.0034 98.53 0.0110 0.999980 05:39Z 1 3089 224.45 0.0003 60.28 0.0012 66.85 0.0117 0.999980 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 01:53Z 7 3219 1.00009 -888 755 325 154 55.1 1.2 13 132 gdr. 1.8" 03:14Z 9 3279 0.99991 888 2034 150 193 61.7 1.3 17 139 gdr. 2.6" 04:32Z 1 3089 0.99998 199 1308 0 261 63.0 0.9 16 168 gdr. 2.4" 05:39Z 1 3089 0.99998 198 1540 225 224 60.3 0.4 16 142 gdr. 1.9" ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 00:02Z 38 22 12 194 (SSW) 17 - mostly clear 00:35Z 38 22 19 205 (SSW) 18 - mostly clear 01:07Z 35 21 7 176 (S) 44 - clear 01:38Z 34 21 17 136 (SE) 102 - clear 02:11Z 33 21 16 124 (SE) 149 - clear 02:43Z 33 24 11 163 (SSE) 172 - clear 03:14Z 34 20 17 138 (SE) 170 - clear 03:46Z 34 18 6 173 (S) 199 - clear 04:16Z 36 14 9 190 (S) 172 - clear 04:48Z 33 26 21 137 (SE) 162 - clear 05:20Z 32 25 15 144 (SE) 169 - mostly clear 05:52Z 32 27 16 142 (SE) 209 - clouds 06:24Z 33 25 12 170 (S) 185 - clouds 06:57Z 34 22 10 184 (S) 176 - clouds 07:29Z 34 22 14 197 (SSW) 129 - clouds 08:01Z 35 20 10 185 (S) 108 - clouds 08:33Z 33 28 5 164 (SSE) 137 - clouds 09:05Z 33 22 10 195 (SSW) 295 - clouds 09:37Z 31 25 3 246 (WSW) 229 - clouds 10:09Z 31 26 1 210 (SSW) 207 - clouds 10:42Z 31 27 9 187 (S) 192 - clouds ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 00:05Z - Began ventilation.
