APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Tuesday May 18, 2010 (MJD 55335) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Kaike Pan Audrey Simmons ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Observed within partly cloudy conditions: Cart 10, plate 3977 (DONE) Cart 17, plate 3933 (DONE) Cart 13, plate 3943 Cart 16, plate 3929 (DONE) We had another instance where the rotator hit an upper limit - 359 degrees. Luckily, the guider shut itself off during the readout of an exposure (cart 10, plate 3977), so we did not loose any data. We went back to the field, and the rotator moved all the way back around to 0 degrees, and then we continued observing. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- Telescope checkout ok. Mounted cart 10. 01:26Z - Began ventilating. Winds a little strong, but still under limit. Collected a few hartmanns and adjusted collimator motors accordingly. Night: ------ 02:09Z - Opened enclosure to partly cloudy skies. Force filled spectrographs. 02:30Z - gotoField cart 10, BOSS plate 3977. 02:33Z - Hartmanns 115590-91. 02:35Z - Cals 115592-93. 02:49Z - Hartmanns 115594-95. 03:06Z - Cals 115596-97. 03:16Z - 15 min exposure 115598. Seeing 1.3" 03:33Z - 15 min exposure 115599. 03:50Z - 15 min exposure 115600. 04:06Z - 15 min exposure 115601. The guider shut itself off during the readout of this last exposure. This is most likely due to the combination of the rotator hitting an upper limit (359.36 degrees), and high drive currents with the high altitude (85 degrees). 04:30Z - Went back to the field. The rotator moved all the way back around to 0 degrees. 04:37Z - 15 min exposure 115602. 04:53Z - 15 min exposure 115603. 05:09Z - 15 min exposure 115604. 05:26Z - 15 min exposure 115605. 05:43Z - 15 min exposure 115606.
