APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Friday October 30, 2009 (MJD 55135) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Alaina Shelden Steph Snedden Jim Gunn (PU) - working on sp saddlebag(?) Mike Carr (PU) - likewise ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! All MARVELS, all the time! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- A fairly productive MARVELS night with one 1.5 hour closure for high wind and blowing snow. Note: Exposure times for MARVELS preselection have changed! See scheduler. Cartridge 1, fiber pair 93, 94, Blue bundle, #8, blue, orange - missing Cartridge 5, fiber pair 95, 96, Yellow bundle, #7, blue, yellow - missing Note that it seems so be harder to get the gang connector in the cartridges. Cold weather effect? Ticket 396 filed.
