APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday April 5, 2010 (MJD 55292) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Dmitry Bizyaev Alaina Shelden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Strong winds the first half of the night. Dust counts between 2000 and 3000 all night. Collected ~15000 counts, please check the mirror. There was some confusion with the MARVELS carts in the bay. We had requested a few, and Nathan made up a schedule that involved 3 and 7 in addition to those requested. The day crew did not see it. We noticed 3 was absent while we still had time to fix it, but we didn't notice 7 was missing until it was too late. 6B covers approximately the same amount of time, so it was substituted. Sorry Nathan! While going to Cart 9A, the rotator brake came on several times. It took several tries and more than 10 minutes to get to the field. Nothing appeared out of place.
