APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday March 14, 2009 (MJD 54905) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Audrey Simmons (Observer) Howard Brewington (Observer) Scott Fleming (MARVELS) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- SEGUE2 and MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- There's a problem with the lower enclosure's hatch; see afternoon checkout. The first part of the night was lost to clouds and humidity. Added singal to the following: Cart 04, 3280-A Cart 04, 3280-B Cart 05, 3277-B Cart 08, 3359-A ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ------------- The north damper rod on the under-side of the hatch of the lower enclosure has come apart and does not always let the hatch close properly. We can still use the hatch, but it needs to get fixed on Monday, please. Spectro focus was checked but not adjusted; it's set for about 0-degrees 23:20Z Doors/louvers opened, fans on. Night: ------ 01:08Z Sunset with clouds and radar returns; we waited. 02:33Z Twilight end 02:25Z Doors/louvers closed fans off as humidity increased. 02:31Z Humidity at 90%; radar returns just west of site. 04:51Z Doors/louvers opened and fans on as humidity decreased. 05:16Z Moonrise 05:36Z Doors/louvers closed and fans off as humidity increased. 06:30Z Humidity decreased, so we mounted cart 04. 06:45Z Enclosure off; topped-off spectro secondary dewars 07:15Z Cart 04, plate 3280-A (Jan09b_MARVELS). Guide stars on goToField. The first guider frame was #1195. One 50-minute exposure was completed. 08:26Z Cart 04, plate 3280-B (Jan09b_MARVELS). Guide stars on goToField. The first guider frame was #1390. One 50-minute exposure was completed. 09:30Z Cart 05, plate 3277-B (Jan09b_MARVELS). Guide stars on goToField. The first guider frame was #0094. One 50-minute exposure was completed. 10:30Z Cart 08, plate 3359-A (Feb09c_MARVELS). Guide stars on goToField. The first guider frame was #0278. One 50-minute exposure was completed. 11:37Z Enclosure on as humidity increased. 11:45Z Mounted cart 03 11:52Z endNight finished and was happy 11:54Z Morning twilight ---=== 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): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 59657, plate -9999 ------- 22:36 59657 0.0 bias ----- sequence 59658, plate 3219 ------- 22:59 59658 10.0 flat 23:02 59659 2.0 arc 23:07 59660 10.0 flat 23:10 59661 2.0 arc ----- sequence 59662, plate 3209 ------- 23:21 59662 10.0 flat 23:23 59663 2.0 arc 23:33 59664 3.0 arc 23:36 59665 3.0 arc ----- sequence 59666, plate -9999 ------- 00:03 59666 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 07:24Z 4 3280 -52.20 0.0012 60.47 -0.0001 137.11 0.0043 0.999910 08:29Z 4 3280 -116.44 0.0038 58.11 -0.0001 87.62 0.0134 0.999830 09:31Z 5 3277 272.64 0.0013 59.65 -0.0000 110.06 -0.0005 0.999830 10:36Z 8 3359 219.17 0.0030 68.56 0.0001 52.40 0.0258 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 07:23Z 4 3280 0.99991 888 2187 300 -52 60.5 -1.9 12 292 gdr 1.4 08:28Z 4 3280 0.99983 1678 2796 250 -116 58.2 -1.9 12 287 gdr 1.5 09:31Z 5 3277 0.99983 1678 2768 225 273 59.6 -2.3 12 296 gdr 1.5 10:36Z 8 3359 0.99998 198 1522 225 219 68.5 -2.4 10 301 gdr 1.5 ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 22:24Z 38 23 13 244 (WSW) 133 - 22:56Z 36 24 8 254 (WSW) 74 - 23:29Z 32 21 11 213 (SSW) 140 - 00:01Z 33 18 15 202 (SSW) 181 - 00:33Z 32 19 14 226 (SW) 197 - 01:05Z 30 21 8 257 (WSW) 274 - 01:37Z 30 21 11 242 (WSW) 337 - 02:09Z 30 20 12 254 (WSW) 414 - 02:42Z 27 26 10 330 (NNW) 269 - 03:14Z 27 27 4 264 (W) 281 - 03:46Z 29 21 12 225 (SW) 433 - 04:18Z 30 21 14 243 (WSW) 445 - 04:50Z 30 21 13 264 (W) 440 - 05:22Z 29 23 10 285 (WNW) 384 - 05:52Z 28 24 14 296 (WNW) 385 - 06:23Z 28 23 14 290 (WNW) 433 - 06:53Z 29 21 17 305 (NW) 464 - 07:23Z 28 21 12 281 (W) 474 - 07:53Z 28 20 15 293 (WNW) 442 - 08:23Z 28 21 15 284 (WNW) 457 - 08:53Z 28 21 13 290 (WNW) 477 - 09:23Z 27 21 14 302 (WNW) 433 - 09:54Z 27 21 9 276 (W) 477 - 10:24Z 27 21 11 294 (WNW) 536 - 10:54Z 26 21 13 326 (NW) 511 - 11:26Z 26 21 10 317 (NW) 450 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 23:20Z Doors and louvers open, fans on. 02:25Z Closed door and louvers; fans off 04:51Z Doors and louvers open, fans on. 06:45Z Enclosure off. 11:37Z Enclosure on, doors and louvers closed, fans off.
