APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday May 31, 2009 (MJD 54983) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Four MARVELS plates observed HD 89744 HD 118203 HAT P-3 K 10 Missing fiber pair: Cartridge 3, side A, blue bundle #9 - green, cyan Two SEGUE plates observed SEGUE2 plate 3442 is DONE Obtained useful signal on SEGUE2 plate 3457, but not yet done. The 180 liter dewar will need to be replaced during the morning. It used its last fill at morning twilight. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- Spectro focus was left unchanged and appears to be set for about 11C. No data were removed from disk. No other problems noted during afternoon checkout 01:45Z - Started enclosure ventilation Night: ----- 02:25Z - Delayed opening because of a nearby thunderstorm. 02:45Z - Opened enclosure to mostly clear skies. 03:03Z - Slewed to first field Cartridge 1, plate 3280B - MARVELS ---------------------------------- Needed FK5 to find the field. It was off about +15 arcsec in RA 03:10:46.620 - First TIO of calibration sequence values in spec for calibrations 03:24:01.810 - HD 89744 - 50 minute exposure Clouds came in about 2/3 of the way through the exposure. Efficiency plummeted. No missing fibers = 31.4 Cartridge 9, plate 3358B - MARVELS ---------------------------------- GSOGTF 04:15:53.160 - First TIO of calibration sequence in spec for calibrations 04:34:19.020 - HD 118203 - 50 minute exposure A few clouds at the beginning of the exposure. No missing fibers = 46.3 Cartridge 3, plate 3359A - MARVELS ---------------------------------- GSOGTF 05:26:11.600 - First TIO of calibration sequence in spec for calibrations 05:38:44.120 - HAT P-3 - 50 minute exposure Thin clouds moved through during the exposure. Two missing fibers: Side A: 57, 58 - blue bundle #9 - green, cyan = 29.8 Cartridge 4, plate 3411A - MARVELS ---------------------------------- Needed an FK5 06:31:00.170 - First TIO of calibration sequence in spec for calibrations 07:00:40.300 - K10 - 50 minute exposure No missing fibers = 46.1 Cartridge 7, plate 3442 - SEGUE2 April 09d ------------------------------------------ 08:06Z - GSOGTF One 25-minute exposure and one 20-minute exposure. This plate is DONE. ---- logfile-54980.html ---- ---- logfile-54981.html ---- ---- logfile-54982.html ---- ---- logfile-54983.html ---- --------------------------------------------------- MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum --------------------------------------------------- 54980 12.7 7.1 17.8 15.3 1800.0 52.9 54980 12.1 6.5 18.5 15.7 1801.0 52.8 54980 1.2 0.9 1.1 1.3 1800.0 4.5 54980 3.5 2.7 5.8 5.0 1800.0 17.0 54983 9.9 7.7 12.9 13.8 1500.0 44.3 54983 7.7 7.1 10.3 12.8 1204.0 37.9 --------------------------------------------------- Total: 47.1 32.0 66.4 63.9 9905.0 --> 209.4 Total when ALL b,r values > 2.0: 45.9 31.1 65.3 62.6 8105.0 --> 204.9 (limit=156.5) --------------------------------------------------- Cartridge 2, plate 3457 - SEGUE2 April 09d ------------------------------------------ 09:12Z - GSOGTF Took two 25-minute exposures.
