APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Sunday July 4, 2010 (MJD 55382) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Steph Snedden Alaina Shelden Craig Loomis (Princeton) guider/sop/boss and telescope muscle Dan Long (phone) telescope pushing info ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- BOSS and MARVELS Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- PR 935 and 936 cover the tcc crash, the unable to find stars, and the altitude over-shoot. Had problems with the SP2 dewar. It kept leaking out the relief valve. We tried to make it fill, and Steph shut off the LN2 for SP2 after the fill. THE MARVELS CCD IS WARMING UP!!!!!! We sent emails, but someone needs to keep an eye on it. The site air compressor alarm went off. Joe and Craig went to look at it, but it seemed to fix itself. The SP1 dewar is < 80lbs. We observed the following: --------------------------- Cart 14 3872 DONE Cart 16 4062 not done Cart 5 3904A 81/82 77/78 49/50 Cart 5 3904B 77/78 49/50 Cart 9 3514B 77/78 49/50 Cart 14 plate 3872 summary Exp type --------------------- 117941 arc 117942 flat 117943-45 science 117946 flat 117947 arc (S/N)^2 accumulated for plate 3872 ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55366 0.7 3.5 0.9 3.4 900.8 8.5 3872-55366-01 55366 1.0 4.4 1.1 4.2 900.8 10.7 3872-55366-01 55366 1.0 4.6 1.3 4.8 900.8 11.7 3872-55366-01 55366 1.4 5.7 1.6 5.6 900.8 14.3 3872-55366-01 55366 1.2 4.8 1.4 4.8 900.8 12.2 3872-55366-01 55366 1.4 4.9 1.5 4.9 900.8 12.7 3872-55366-01 55366 1.2 3.8 1.3 3.8 900.8 10.1 3872-55366-01 55382 2.6 7.0 2.7 7.0 900.8 19.3 3872-55366-01 55382 2.8 7.3 3.0 7.5 900.8 20.6 3872-55366-01 55382 2.4 6.5 2.6 6.6 900.8 18.1 3872-55366-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ 15.7 52.5 17.4 52.6 9008.0 --> 138.2 ------------------------------------------------------------ Cart 16 plate 4062 summary Exp type --------------------- 117950 arc 117951 flat 117952-53 science 117954 flat 117955 arc (S/N)^2 accumulated for plate 4062 ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55382 1.3 3.9 1.3 3.8 900.8 10.3 4062-55381-01 55382 2.0 5.4 1.9 5.3 900.8 14.6 4062-55381-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ 3.3 9.3 3.2 9.1 1801.6 --> 24.9 ------------------------------------------------------------ Summary, MARVELS Cart 5 plate 3904A K10 Frame Type Time Ave PMT Seeing ------------------------------------------------------------------ T07:01:16.790.fits TIO 11s 41832 T07:03:22.080.fits ThAr 160s 285.4 T07:07:58.400.fits TIO 11s 43523 T07:35:04.470.fits Science 50m 40.72 1.7" T08:27:01.880.fits TIO 11s 44538 T08:29:09.010.fits ThAr 160s 293.7 T08:33:44.480.fits TIO 11s 46404 Summary, MARVELS Cart 5 plate 3514B FIELD1572 Frame Type Time Ave PMT Seeing ------------------------------------------------------------------ T08:35:46.980.fits Science 50m 34.11 1.5" T09:27:41.400.fits TIO 11s 43719 T09:29:48.150.fits ThAr 160s 294.9 T09:34:23.160.fits TIO 11s 44573 Summary, MARVELS Cart 9 plate 3514B FIELD1068 Frame Type Time Ave PMT Seeing ------------------------------------------------------------------ T09:36:27.640.fits Science 50m 19.83 2.2" T10:29:19.920.fits TIO 11s 41459 T10:31:27.900.fits ThAr 160s 282.2 T10:36:03.330.fits TIO 11s 44007 ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 02:12Z Have had a few problems today: Francis noted that the spectro glycol level was a little low. The cal/hartmann were assigned the wrong names to each frame--frames were called blue and vice versa. Craig is working on rolling back to an older version of Boss to fix this. We also had a problem with the sp2 dewar--the valve was leaking. Joe has been working on this for us. Other than this the telescope checked out fine, and the weather is great! 02:18Z Craig got us to official version of boss, looks like it will work.

Went to InstChange, and alt went past 90 deg by about 3 deg. Turned brake off and pushed the telescope (thanks Craig!!) and fixed fiducials. In the process, mcp was rebooted and tcc had to be re-logged in. Called Dan Long for info, which was very helpful. 04:32Z Cart 14 plate 3872 04:35Z sop gotoField, hartmann frames 117939-40, found stars 04:51Z science 05:07Z science 05:13Z turned on ThAr lamp 05:24Z science 05:41Z cals Cart 14 plate 3872 summary Exp type --------------------- 117941 arc 117942 flat 117943-45 science 117946 flat 117947 arc (S/N)^2 accumulated for plate 3872 ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55366 0.7 3.5 0.9 3.4 900.8 8.5 3872-55366-01 55366 1.0 4.4 1.1 4.2 900.8 10.7 3872-55366-01 55366 1.0 4.6 1.3 4.8 900.8 11.7 3872-55366-01 55366 1.4 5.7 1.6 5.6 900.8 14.3 3872-55366-01 55366 1.2 4.8 1.4 4.8 900.8 12.2 3872-55366-01 55366 1.4 4.9 1.5 4.9 900.8 12.7 3872-55366-01 55366 1.2 3.8 1.3 3.8 900.8 10.1 3872-55366-01 55382 2.6 7.0 2.7 7.0 900.8 19.3 3872-55366-01 55382 2.8 7.3 3.0 7.5 900.8 20.6 3872-55366-01 55382 2.4 6.5 2.6 6.6 900.8 18.1 3872-55366-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ 15.7 52.5 17.4 52.6 9008.0 --> 138.2 ------------------------------------------------------------ 05:54Z Cart 16 plate 4062 05:55Z sop gotoField, hartmann frames 117948-49. found stars 06:07Z science X2 06:40Z cals Cart 16 plate 4062 summary Exp type --------------------- 117950 arc 117951 flat 117952-53 science 117954 flat 117955 arc (S/N)^2 accumulated for plate 4062 ------------------------------------------------------------ MJD b1 r1 b2 r2 Texp Sum Plugfile ------------------------------------------------------------ 55382 1.3 3.9 1.3 3.8 900.8 10.3 4062-55381-01 55382 2.0 5.4 1.9 5.3 900.8 14.6 4062-55381-01 ------------------------------------------------------------ 3.3 9.3 3.2 9.1 1801.6 --> 24.9 ------------------------------------------------------------ 06:46Z Craig is doing a few more guider tests. 07:10Z MARVELS CCD seems to be warming.
