APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY SDSS 2.5M OBSERVING LOG Saturday September 10, 2005 (MJD 53624) ---=== OBSERVING TEAM ===--- John Barentine Mike Harvanek Support: Eric Neilsen Steph Snedden ---=== OBSERVING PLAN ===--- Science! ---=== OBSERVING SUMMARY ===--- Cloudy/high humidity all night. Never opened. Completed a requested test of the DIMM VNC on monx3. ---=== OBSERVING LOG ===--- Afternoon --------- On starting afternoon checkout we immediately had a DA problem involving the spectrographs. When the servers were restarted, the spectro server died immediately. Three more attemps at restarting the servers resulted in identifical behavior. We got Eric on the phone who suggested rebooting the spectro crates. We did this twice without any luck. Left messages for Fritz and Kurt. Steph returned our call with the suggestion of flipping the toggle switch on the spectro side of the spectro crate. That solved the problem. Within minutes we had our server back and were taking spectro biases. The remaining spectro checkout proceeded normally. The servers were fine for the rest of the night. Night ----- The evening started out with clouds all around us (but not overhead) and scattered radar returns in the region. Rain sensor tripped at 03:45Z. Clouds thinned later on but humidity remained above 90% for most of the night. We never considered opening. We ran the DIMM VNC test on monx3. Results were reported to Steph. Put the telescope to bed at 10:45Z. ---=== IMAGING RUN SUMMARY ===--- Run Time Stripe Lambda Last Flavor Comments Start End Begin End Frame ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5591 00:38Z 00:53Z 100 O 68.83 72.71 40 bias Doghouse bias - ignore ---=== 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): n QA Procedures Done (y/n): n UT Exp Time flavor comment (S/N)^2 totals ========================================== b1 r1 b2 r2 ----- sequence 33931, plate -9999 ------- 01:21 33931 0.0 bias 01:24 33933 0.0 bias 01:27 33934 0.0 bias 02:03 33935 0.0 bias ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE I ===--- Time Instrument Az Alt Rot Scale pos offset pos offset pos offset ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---=== TELESCOPE OFFSETS AND SCALE II ===--- ---=== DATA TAPE SUMMARY ===--- Goes: JL Stays: JL ---=== 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 00:51Z 58 46 6 283 (WNW) -9999 - PtlyCldy 01:25Z 55 47 4 264 (W) -9999 - MstlyCldy 01:57Z 56 47 1 186 (S) -9999 - MstlyCldy 02:29Z 55 47 3 197 (SSW) -9999 - MstlyCldy 03:01Z 56 46 1 191 (S) -9999 - MstlyCldy 03:33Z 56 46 8 192 (SSW) -9999 - MstlyCldy 04:05Z 56 47 9 183 (S) -9999 - MstlyCldy 04:38Z 55 48 8 182 (S) -9999 - MstlyCldy 05:10Z 54 48 9 198 (SSW) -9999 - MstlyCldy 05:42Z 54 48 9 178 (S) -9999 - MstlyCldy 06:14Z 54 47 6 218 (SW) -9999 - MstlyCldy 06:46Z 53 48 12 169 (S) -9999 - MstlyCldy 07:18Z 50 50 12 160 (SSE) -9999 - MstlyCldy 07:51Z 53 46 10 179 (S) -9999 - MstlyCldy 08:23Z 52 48 12 182 (S) -9999 - MstlyCldy 08:55Z 51 48 10 196 (SSW) -9999 - MstlyCldy 09:27Z 50 48 10 196 (SSW) -9999 - MstlyCldy 09:59Z 50 48 8 243 (WSW) -9999 - MstlyCldy 10:31Z 51 47 4 220 (SW) -9999 - MstlyCldy ---=== TELESCOPE STATUS ===--- 01:30Z Fans on, doors cracked, louvers open 03:47Z Fans off, doors and louvers closed Telescope stowed at 121,30 with Cart 5 (Plate 2256) mounted Counterweights at 250 No interlocks bypassed Spectro autofill reconnected Dewar weights at 10:50Z Imager: 165lbs 20psi Spectro: 265lbs 15psi ---=== SOFTWARE USED ===--- IOP/SOP: iop Watcher: watcher MCP: v5_26_0 TPM: tpm_v3_1_0 AstroDa: biery TCC: TCC 2.7.2.1 August 6 2004 sdssProcedures: v2_03 SoS: v4_10_7 hoggPT: v1_6_9 plate-mapper: v4_3_1 ---=== MIRROR NUMBERS ===--- PRIMARY: -------- Scale: 1.000000 MIGS TONIGHT NOMINAL Axial A -5.8430 -5.8440 Axial B -5.6760 -5.6770 Axial C 0.9420 0.9420 Trans D -9.9930 -9.9940 Lateral E 10.3759 10.3759 Lateral F 11.9380 11.9380 GALILS Commanded: 4700. -2450. 3000. -7800. 3300. 3000.
