APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Monday August 30, 2010 (MJD 55439) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- Observers: Alaina Sheldon Howard Brewington Support: Kaike Pan Steph Snedden Jon Brinkmann ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- MARVELS Science and spectro testing! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- The night was lost to clouds, rain, and high humidity. During the afternoon checkout, we had another phase reboot. We left a message for Connie. Kaike asked that I mention that we do not have a clear procedure for the recovery from this problem; see afternoon checkout. At about 05:30Z, we had another alt slip on the alt#1 motor; it happened as an axis init was done while the scope was at 121,90,00. We did kyle's spectro tests; see log. One of the locking knob's LED-lights on sp1 blue camera's ring was working intermittently during Kyle's test. I think it was the most west knob while the scope was at stow (121,30,00) There seems to be an air leak on the west side the cart bay rack just east of cart 11. It started as the cart was placed in the bay. We did Kaike's spectro test for cart 11 and 12; see log. We did more spectro darks of kyle during the rest of the night. At ~08:42Z, we had another phase reboot sp2. We called Connie but got the machine. All of the weather stats are not being recorded to the log; see weather section. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon: ---------- 23:30Z Started the checkout 23:30Z Kaike did some spectro tests and adjustments of xMid and waveMid. During the test we had a phase reboot. To recover he did the following: boss exposure abort boss clearExposure boss cold boss reloadControllers controllers=sp2cam,sp2daq boss reloadControllers controllers=sp1cam,sp1daq boss iack boss exposure bias itime=0 23:36Z Tested actors; SOP did not ping.

Alaina forgot to do a 'guider load cart' after cart 11 was mount, so these exposures got added to cart 17's. However, the expsosure numbers are listed below. Cart 11 cal exposures = 118572 to 574 (ignore 575) Cart 12 cal exposures = 118581 to 582 06:21Z We started doing more darks for Kyle while we hope to get a phase reboot for Connie. Darks started with exposure 118583 and ended with 118653. Alaina misunderstood that the darks should have been 900 seconds and did they at only 20 seconds. Sorry Kyle. We did however have a few phase reboots in the process. 10:20Z Humidity was still high, and we had clouds 10:25Z endNight ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== IMAGING RUN DETAILS ===--- ---=== SKIPPY RESULTS ===--- Run Frame nFrames stars muErr muRms nuErr nuRms rot az el --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---=== LTMATCH RESULTS ===--- Run Field nFields alt az nGood rowMean rowSig colMean colSig rot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== SPECTROSCOPY DATA SUMMARY ===--- Summary Checked (y/n): QA Procedures Done (y/n): UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== FOCUS LOG ===--- setmir piston Temp Wind Time Inst scale M1 M2 Foc Az Alt (C) MPH Dir filt fwhm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== WEATHER LOG ===--- Wind Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust DIMM Sky 23:05Z 61 51 12 248 (WSW) 611 - 02:05Z 57 50 16 225 (SW) 473 - ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- Never opened No interlocks bypassed.
