APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday March 1, 2010 (MJD 55257) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dan Oravetz Audrey Simmons ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Closed all night due to high humidity. Completed the new sparse plug test. Was not able to complete the coma test. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 00:18Z - ThAr lamp turned on. 00:19Z - Noticed that the spectrograph panel downstairs showed the camera pressure and spectrograph pressure both at zero, and chiller glycol tank was not churrning. We found the toggle switches both in the off position. We turned them on, the guages returned to normal values and there were no visual leaks found around the telescope and spectrographs. All ok now. In the midst of this, Steph, Dan Long, and Wendell were contacted. 00:34Z - MCP was not available. The crate was softly rebooted. Humid and cloudy. Did not ventilate. Night: ------ Sparse plug test for BOSS: 01:24Z - Hartmanns 10821-22. Adjusted r cameras. Motor c failed. 01:38Z - Hartmanns 10823-24. Adjusted r1 camera. 01:44Z - Hartmanns 10825-26. Adjusted b1 camera. 02:00Z - Hartmanns 10827-28.
