APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday May 5, 2009 (MJD 54957) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden Viktor Malanushenko ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- 54957.0 0.81 MARVELS 8.3 hours Flexible Engineering ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Cloudy at the evening, clear sky after midnigh. We lost about one hour because of heavy dust (more than 6000). We observed the following: 3491 - Praesepe (partly cloudy) 3353B - XO-2 (partly cloudy) 3277A - HD80606 (partly cloudy) 3412A - K8 3412B - K21 3489A - FIELD1349 3489B - KEPLER3, TRES-2 - Guider problem: The tcc telrun session gave a "timeout on port LTA 11", the guider Mac gave a "read reply error". Maybe related: The laptop tcc session timed out with a "mailbox full" error. Re-starting the guider Mac appears to have fixed the problem. - The flip cover of gaing connector was broken when Viktor changing cartcridge 5 on cartridge 3. - Cartridge 5 field B: please check spectra 57, 58 - blue bundle #9, green, cyan - Cartridge 6 field A: please check spectra 15, 16 - green bundle #7, blue, yellow - Cartridge 6 field B: please check spectra 87, 88 - yellow bundle #3, black, yellow - Cartridge 7 field B: please check spectra 7, 8 - green bundle #3, black, yellow ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- Set spectro focus for the early night temps expected for the Praesepe pre-selection plate. Deleted old data fom sdsshost2/sdssfiles1- MJDs 54749 - 54760 All other afternoon checks were okay.
