APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday April 24, 2010 (MJD 55311) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Viktor Malanushenko Howard Brewington ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Part of the night was lost to dust of ~8K; please check the mirrors. Thanks! Observed following MARVELS fields: Cart 04, plate 3891-A, FIELD1110 Cart 05, plate 3892-A, 47UMA Cart 05, plate 3892-B, HD118203 Cart 06, plate 3414-A, FIELD1348 Cart 06, plate 3414-B, FIELD1068 (fibers 67/68 are dead) Cart 07, plate 3902-A, K8 At the start of the night, we had difficulty mounting MARVELS carts #4 and #5. At the normal reading on the hand pendant of ~1200, the latches did not work. So, I had to hold the trigger and push the thumb wheel while pressing the latch button to get the latches to close. Cart #6 was in the bay back-wards. Cart #7 had bungee cords holding the slit head covers in place. Although we cleaned the gang connector and socket, the PMT for the ThAr exposures is still low, i.e., <300. Do we need to replace the ThAr lamp? The DIMM is unhappy again. It's probably a bad keyboard; I'll do some tests tomorrow. We were able, however, to run the DIMM from MONX3. I've contacted Jon Brinkmann for his thoughts. The spectro dewar is low. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ----------- 23:20Z Started the checkout 23:22Z Restarted the Watcher servers 23:40Z Turned on MARVELS ThAr lamp 23:46Z sdsshost2> uptime 23:43:10 up 30 days, 13 min, 29 users, load average: 23:46Z Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 142G 130G 4.6G 97% / /dev/sda1 99M 30M 64M 33% /boot /dev/sdb1 917G 840G 31G 97% /data sdssfiles1p:/data1/data 1.8T 116G 1.7T 7% /file 23:50Z Verified that the STUI actors were happy; also checked the status of the hub25m and perms 00:00Z Cracked the doors; turned on fans 00:15Z Replaced the bad FF lamp from last night 00:25Z Mounted Cart 04 00:30Z Finished the scope checkout Night: ------- 01:48Z Sunset 02:50Z Enclosure off, topped-off spectro secondary dewars, checked top/bottom balance, did a test slew, checked fiducial crossings for each axis, and started the DIMM. 02:25Z As we checked top/bottom balance with the mcpMenu, it became unavailable and had to be rebooted. We sent Craig an email about the problem. 02:40Z Cart 04, plate 3891, pointing = A,field = FIEDL1110, MARVELS, GSOGTF. The pre-cals were done while in engMode. The images were copied to the et1 directory. IMAGE_1712 was a TIO that was accidently done while trying to start a science exposure; it should not be used. We noticed that the pre-calS were weak, so we cleaned the gang connector and socket in the floor. Although the TIOs improved somewhat, the ThAr PMT was still low. We completed one 50-minute exposure. 03:09Z Twilight end T02:16:16.970 0 11. 44079. 4932. TIO NULL T02:18:24.600 0 160. 240. 616. THAR NULL T02:23:02.370 0 11. 42798. 4947.
