APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday January 10, 2010 (MJD 55207) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Dmitry Bizyaev Steph Snedden (afternoon) ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was mostly cloudy, after ~ 11Z partly cloudy. BOSS plates exposed: 3615, 3660 , 3678, 3693, 3775 (done) During plate 3615 exposure (cart. 13) guider jumped by ~3", see /data/gcam/55207/proc-gimg-0041.fits This was not connected to fid. crossing or scale change. MCP hung at 09:11:53Z. MCP hard-rebooted. Craig notified. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: --------- Afternoon checkout went okay. Telescope motion was good :-) Thanks much to the engineering staff. And thanks for mounting cartridge 13! Cartridge 13 mounted. Guider dark, flat and BOSS dark taken. 23:25Z - Enclosure ventilation started. 23:25Z - Bowhunters were asked to hunt south of the buildings safely out of range. How convenient to hunt from a parking lot for almost tame deer. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Night: ----- We delayed opening because of approaching cloud system. 01:10Z telescope opened cart. 13 plate 3615 is on gotoField with plate 3615 GSOGTF /data/gcam/55207/proc-gimg-0041.fits shows a jump of telescope by ~ 3". It is not connected to a fiducial crossing (the last happened ~6 min prior to it, in AZ) 207 01:52 b1-00106852 13 3615 fla Out 31.0 26053 26794 26557 01:52 b2-00106852 13 3615 fla Out 31.0 18055 17754 17844 01:52 r1-00106852 13 3615 fla Out 31.0 26053 26794 26557 01:52 r2-00106852 13 3615 fla Out 31.0 18055 17754 17844 208 01:55 b1-00106853 13 3615 arc Out 4.0 26053 26794 26557 01:55 b2-00106853 13 3615 arc Out 5.0 18055 17754 17844 01:55 r1-00106853 13 3615 arc Out 4.0 26053 26794 26557 01:55 r2-00106853 13 3615 arc Out 5.0 18055 17754 17844 209 02:04 b1-00106854 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 26053 26794 26557 02:04 b2-00106854 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 18055 17754 17844 02:04 r1-00106854 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 26053 26794 26557 02:04 r2-00106854 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 18055 17754 17844 210 02:21 b1-00106855 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 26053 26794 26557 02:21 b2-00106855 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 18055 17754 17844 02:21 r1-00106855 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 26053 26794 26557 02:21 r2-00106855 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 18055 17754 17844 211 02:38 b1-00106856 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 26053 26794 26557 02:38 b2-00106856 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 18055 17754 17844 02:38 r1-00106856 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 26053 26794 26557 02:38 r2-00106856 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 18055 17754 17844 212 02:55 b1-00106857 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 26053 26794 26557 02:55 b2-00106857 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 18055 17754 17844 02:55 r1-00106857 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 26053 26794 26557 02:55 r2-00106857 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 18055 17754 17844 213 03:11 b1-00106858 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 26053 26794 26557 03:11 b2-00106858 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 18055 17754 17844 03:11 r1-00106858 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 26053 26794 26557 03:11 r2-00106858 13 3615 sci Out 901.0 18055 17754 17844 214 03:28 b1-00106859 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 26053 26794 26557 03:28 b2-00106859 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 18055 17754 17844 03:28 r1-00106859 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 26053 26794 26557 03:28 r2-00106859 13 3615 sci Out 900.0 18055 17754 17844 215 03:45 b1-00106860 13 3615 fla Out 30.0 26053 26794 26557 03:45 b2-00106860 13 3615 fla Out 31.0 18055 17754 17844 03:45 r1-00106860 13 3615 fla Out 30.0 26053 26794 26557 03:45 r2-00106860 13 3615 fla Out 31.0 18055 17754 17844 216 03:47 b1-00106861 13 3615 arc Out 5.0 26053 26794 26557 03:47 b2-00106861 13 3615 arc Out 5.0 18055 17754 17844 03:47 r1-00106861 13 3615 arc Out 5.0 26053 26794 26557 03:47 r2-00106861 13 3615 arc Out 5.0 18055 17754 17844 ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55203 1.1 1.9 1.5 2.3 900.0 6.8 3615-55201-09 55203 1.2 2.0 1.8 2.5 900.0 7.5 3615-55201-09 55203 1.5 2.6 2.3 3.1 900.0 9.5 3615-55201-09 55203 1.1 1.8 1.9 2.2 901.0 7.0 3615-55201-09 55205 1.0 1.4 1.5 1.7 900.0 5.6 3615-55201-09 55205 1.0 0.9 1.4 1.6 900.0 4.9 3615-55201-09 55205 1.0 0.7 1.4 1.4 900.0 4.5 3615-55201-09 55205 0.9 0.5 1.3 1.1 901.0 3.8 3615-55201-09 55205 0.8 0.4 1.2 1.0 900.0 3.4 3615-55201-09 55205 0.7 0.2 0.9 0.8 901.0 2.6 3615-55201-09 55207 1.0 1.9 1.4 2.2 900.0 6.5 3615-55201-09 55207 1.5 3.2 2.1 3.6 900.0 10.4 3615-55201-09 55207 0.6 1.4 1.1 1.7 901.0 4.8 3615-55201-09 55207 0.5 1.0 0.9 1.3 901.0 3.7 3615-55201-09 55207 0.2 0.4 0.4 0.5 901.0 1.5 3615-55201-09 55207 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.2 900.0 0.5 3615-55201-09 ------------------------------------------------------------ Because of running clouds and bad seeing we observe gradual declination in S/N accumulation.
